THE TRAP MUSIC MUSEUM is a one-of-a kind gallery where you can explore one of Atlanta’s most unique and iconic music genres.

Learn the history of T.I., Jeezy and other Atlanta rappers whose sound has impacted the world. Visit the Trap Music Museum.

2) WHAT TO LISTEN TO

DIAMOND PLATNUMZ is Tanzanian bongo flava artist. When I interviewed Justa Lugwangana on Ep 328, we talked about bongo flava music–a derivative of American hip hop mixed with traditional Tanzanian styles such as taarab and dansi, with lyrics in Swahili and English. Diamond Platnumz is one of the most popular bongo flava artists. Listen to Diamond Platnumz on Spotify.

3) TRAVEL APPAREL I WEAR

UNBOUND MERINO POLO SHIRT. I travel the world full-time with carry on luggage only and this 100% merino wool polo shirt is a core part of my ‘stylish minimalist’ wardrobe. It regulates temperature, does not retain odor, and is perfect for an evening out with friends in warm weather climates. I rocked it on my trip to Atlanta last week (pictured here). Unbound Merino makes a full line of merino wool travel apparel for men and women. Shop Unbound Merino Here.

She then shares personal finance tips, investing strategies, and travel hacks that you can use. Finally, Elsie talks about connecting with culture and place through food, the value of slow and immersive travel, and offers tips for Black and Latinx travelers.
