May 29, 2017 – Jersey City, New Jersey –<\/strong> This girl is Bag & Boujee. Confessions of a Black Travel Diva is a black woman’s tale of sex, ambition and boarding passes. A black girl from Long Island moves to New York to study art, break into the fashion world and feed her insatiable desire for travel.<\/p>\n

What she finds is a world of lovers that take her on a transatlantic adventure from Brooklyn to Bahia. Confessions is a fresh take on a common theme of self reflection in foreign places – a story commonly told through the eyes of white women. Now it’s time to read what it’s like from a set of brown eyes.<\/p>\n

Tatiana Yvette Smith is an artist, activist, educator and doula. She began recounting her travel stories in 2007 on her blog, Black Travel Diva (www.blacktraveldiva.com). What had initially began as a way to reminisce with friends far and wide became a personal campaign to expose more black people to the love of traveling.<\/p>\n

“Foreign travel has always been seen as an option for the young, white and rich. Social media is flooded with images of middle-aged white women traveling to brown countries in search of culture and self-reflection. Well, I want to say that Black people travel too. And for us, it’s about returning to our roots and re-sparking the culture that is inherently within us.”<\/p>\n

Confessions of a Black Travel Diva is a fictional tale based on the true stories of Tatiana Smith. A young artist and dancer, she falls in love with a dancer who inspires her to travel to West Africa for the first time. While working at a fashion magazine, she gets in Paris Fashion <\/strong>Week<\/strong>, where she meets another lover who takes her on a roller coaster ride of emotions.<\/p>\n

From coast to coast she searches for answers through her worldwide love affairs in exotic places. Confessions of a Black Travel Diva takes place in several cites including Paris, Dakar, Amsterdam, Bahia, and New Delhi. This is Tatiana’s first novel.<\/p>\n
