During a recent Support Group one of our Network Members asked for suggestions on what to wear for her first long-haul flight. Her main concern was blood clots or Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The group consensus was to wear something loose and comfortable, like pajamas. Which reminded me of the Pajama Dressing trend that has been seen on the runways and in the streets for a few years. Besides looking chic and feeling insanely comfortable for your flight, the added benefit of trying this trend is that you can dress it up with heels or down with sneakers or crocs. If you’re doing more than checki ..read more

Last year I turned 40 and took my first international trip to Thailand. For most of my life travel was the farthest thing from my mind. At the age of 18, during my first semester in college, I became a mother. I was more concerned about trying to finish school, working, and raising my daughter. I didn’t realize it then, but there is privilege in being able to travel, to see how others live, and to marvel at the beauty of the world outside of your immediate community. It all felt so foreign — unattainable both financially and socially for a young black girl from South Los Angeles in the la ..read more
