    2nd Class Session - Before Takeoff

    May 22, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    🌍✨ Class Highlight! ✨🌍
    In our second session preparing for our upcoming study abroad trip to Ghana 🇬🇭, we dove deep into conversations around U.S. identity abroad—especially as students from an HBCU entering a Black-majority country with complex histories and powerful cultural ties.

    Using Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World as our guide, students reflected on race, privilege, discomfort, and diasporic connection. We set our personal intentions for the journey ahead and explored what it means to engage ethically and mindfully across global difference.

    Students worked in small groups using the Identity Abroad Reflection Guide, shared with vulnerability, and built community through honest dialogue. The energy in the room was thoughtful, open, and inspiring. 🌱💬

    So proud of this cohort for leaning into growth, discomfort, and connection. Ghana, we’re coming with open minds and full hearts! 💫✈️
