Catch Me If You Can

Jessica Nabongo is the first Black woman to document traveling to every country in the world. She is a writer and photographer, and now she’s added lifestyle guru to her resumé with the founding of her travel company Jet Black.

Nabongo was born and raised in Detroit to parents who immigrated from Uganda. Her family thought nothing of hopping on a plane to any destination, and after getting a graduate degree from the London School of Economics, Nabongo decided to visit every country she hadn’t seen—and to do it by the age of 35. She made it happen with very few sponsors, building her own brand along the way.

In this episode of Black Diplomats, host Terrell J Starr talks to Nabongo about being a frequent world traveler himself, her favorite thing to eat in Georgia (the country, not the State), and how COVID-19 is messing with her summer.
