The Awkward Black Nomad

I'm Keyoka, a Black solo traveler with dogs. I talk about bringing my boys, Frank and Bernie, with me all over the world, solo travel as an introvert, dating abroad as a Black woman, and more!

I also chat with other Black travelers about their experiences abroad. If that seems like your vibe, subscribe to the channel, share my videos, and follow The Awkward Black Nomad on all social media.

Should I bring back weekly lives? 👀

Hey y'all! I'm easing my way back into making content. The summer hiatus had me in a CHOKEHOLD. I have LOTS to discuss and I miss chatting online with the friends in my head. I'll be going live with a special guest on SUNDAY, Aug 31, but it's got me thinking I need to make this a regular thing again. Vote below?⬇

My sisters and I used to collect all of the sheets and blankets and pillows in the house. Then we’d arrange my mom’s big dining room chairs and build a massive fort. We’d bring our snacks and watch movies all day and night from our fort.

Q: What kind of things did you do for fun when you were a kid?

This video helped me take a moment to remember and reflect.
