Work With Me
What I Offer
Sojournies (lazily) began in 2015 as a travel diary to document my study abroad adventures. Now it has grown to be a travel education and inspiration platform as a mirror for many Millennial (and even Gen Z) travelers who seek adventure for school, their career, or on vacation.

Testimonials 👀
"Sojourner has presented at our live virtual events through The Nomadic Network twice so far — she is actually one of the 5% of our 200 speakers invited to come back. We loved her spirit, energy, and wealth of knowledge so much after the first presentation "Tips to Being a Better Ally to Black People When Traveling", that we invited her to present on "Tips for Traveling Responsibly." Our community appreciated her engaging, enthusiastic, friendly attitude as she taught us about rather heavy topics. Her background in social work combined with her extensive travel experiences forms a valuable, inclusive perspective which we feel privileged to highlight and share. When she presents, it feels like you're listening to a friend speak, which makes her tips and wisdom feel relatable and easy to put into practice."
"We have loved partnering with Sojourner over the past few months. As a travel social media startup, we wanted to work with Sojourner because of her creative content and vast travel network. We partnered with Sojourner because she consistently brings creativity and proactiveness to every project. She is an excellent storyteller and communicator. Sojourner is in-tune with her followers and travel community; Thus, she has given us insight and suggestions to Trvlpage itself. All of us at Trvlpage are big fans of Sojourner’s content, and we all look forward to projects with her!"
"Sojourner was a wonderful contributing panelist for VISIT Milwaukee’s program, “Curating Inclusive Milwaukee Tourism Experiences” in June, 2020. She brought interesting, well-traveled, and deeply considered perspectives to our tourism business audience about evolving Black tourism experiences around the world and in her hometown of Milwaukee. Sojourner brings deliberateness to her work along with her contagious youthful spirit. I am big fan of Sojourneries and Sojourner herself and am actively looking for the next way I will have the pleasure to work her."
