Who We Are (The TB Squad)

Traveling Black (TB) was created by our Founder and CEO (Chief Experience Officer) Kumi Rauf AKA Escape Artist who is also the Founder of I Love Being Black (are you noticing the Black theme yet?) which is Traveling Black’s parent company. Check out his CBS 7 or his Black Enterprise interview. The TB Squad is comprised of brothas and sistas who have a deep love for Black people / history / and authentic experiences. We have all traveled extensively throughout the world, collectively covering over 100 countries to date. Our staff is spread around the U.S., South Africa, Colombia (and a couple are true nomads, changing location every few months).
