Dash Harris founded AfroLatino Travel after being inspired to tell the stories and participate in the current culture of AfroLatinos throughout the Americas. She combines historical understanding with tourism in a way rarely seen elsewhere.

From our interview with Ms. Harris: “AfroLatino Travel is the premier resource for the African Diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean. We focus on Afro-diasporic social, cultural and community-building exchange, custom itineraries and tours for schools, universities, organizations, groups and individuals. It is an online resource for information, multi-media, travel curation and cultural exchange in the Americas. We provide contextual historical and contemporary content on the African root through photos, text, video, sound and  travel to Afro-descended regions. Our most popular tours are our AfroPanama and AfroCuba tours.”
