      Episode Summary

      Eileen asks if these are really the most dangerous countries in South America or if they just have a lot of Black people. In Part 2 of this interview, Eileen talks about the award she won at the Black Travel Film Festival for her travel series “Black Latin History”.  She then breaks down the historical, social, political and cultural significance of Afro-Colombian music from El Pacifico, including the legacy of Petronio Alvarez and the festival named after him.  Eileen also explains why you should definitely visit Cali, Colombia.  Next, she talks about Black history and culture in Medellin, Colombia, and why her first trip to the city surprised and delighted her.  Eileen also talks about her upcoming Afro-Medellin group trip and how you can join.  Next, she reflects on her trips to Rio and Salvador in Brazil, including how she designed them to center the rich Black history and culture in Brazil.  Matt and Eileen also tell you how to get a discounted ticket to meet them at the upcoming WITS Travel Creator Summit where Eileen is presenting a workshop.  And, finally, Eileen reflects on “diaspora wars” and shares the #1 lesson she has learned from her travels.
