We want to bring Black and Indigenous American History, Music, and Culture to Life through unique, authentic, and cultural travel experiences that will contribute to inter-cultural understanding and speak to the heart and soul of multicultural audiences.
We respect the socio-cultural authenticity of the communities we visit and we preserve and support the history, culture, and economies of our host communities.
Leon Burnette, known affectionately as Mr. B The Guru, is a Civil Rights and Black Music Historian, Explorer, and Storyteller.
Burnett, also known as “Mr. B,” is the voice of diversity Stories and has a strong obsession for Black music, Black history. That’s in addition to an ever-stronger lust to wander into black communities to learn about the development of Black culture in America, a culture that was spurred on by the great black migration before World War 1 and after World War Two.
We want to be the leading provider of this type of tour experience either through our custom tour packages, Destination Management Services, or through our network of trained Black and Indigenous American Heritage and Culture Tour Directors, SMEs, and Storytellers, trained in our Tourism Education program-Tourism Pathways Project.
