California hits different when traveling with a black lens.
I’m Emil - part of the Green Book Global team, where I oversee travel reviews from our community - both in the country and across the world. And this is the beginning of Traveling While Black: Roadtrip Edition.
I’m exploring California by highlighting the places that feel welcoming and everything in between. From safety, to food, to hotels & activities - I will cover it all!
The trip is powered by the Road Trip Planner, built from community-submitted reviews and firsthand insight
First stop: San Diego, California. 🌴
Where should I go next?

“We and guest encountered a rhino in the wild… 🦏🌿 At first, everything felt calm… until it suddenly tried to charge 😳💨
Hearts racing, adrenaline kicking in… but the guide rangers kept reminding us: stay calm, don’t run .
It wasn’t easy — the fear was real 😰 — but we trusted them and held our ground 💪
After a tense few moments, the rhino slowed down, lost interest, and walked away 🦏➡️🌿
Relief, laughter, and pure joy followed 😮💨😂✨
Grateful for a rare, heart-pounding encounter we’ll never forget 🌍🔥”
Did Speed change to narrative of Africa for the next generations of Black Travelers?
He’s visiting 20 African countries in just 28 days, and the love he’s receiving, along with the alternative view of wealth, happiness, and incredible food in various countries in Africa, is something mainstream media NEVER shows
Through the power of livestreaming, he’s forcing those realities into view. That man got me to download Twitch lol.
Is he changing the narrative? And does this make you want to visit a country in Africa now?
