3) TRAVEL GEAR I USE

AVIATOR REDEYE THERMAL HOODIE. This is one of my all-time favorite things to wear, and it comes in both men’s and women’s. It’s lightweight, very compressible and super versatile. If I’m trying to sleep on a plane, the hood is designed so that it can come down and cover my eyes and, if it’s chilly, the 3-way cuff sleeves can turn into mittens and cover my hands. Plus, it’s just insanely comfortable and I pretty much want to wear it all the time. Check out the Aviator Redeye Thermal Hoodie and all my Travel Gear Here.

Did you Listen to Last Week’s Episode of The Maverick Show?

Last week I dropped Part 2 of my interview with award-winning travel journalist Briona Lamback who shares tips for decolonizing your travel writing. She explains why and how she interweaves her culinary and travel writing with themes of Black liberation. Briona also shares her experience navigating anti-Blackness around the world and reflects on how travel has impacted her over the years. Finally, she names her Top 5 hip hop MCs of all time as well as her Top 5 Afrobeat artists. Listen to the episode on your favorite platform here.
