Passport to Black Joy
A global empowerment experience showing Black students and families that the world is theirs to explore.
Passport to Black Joy is the education and impact arm of Black Joy Global Travel. Through school assemblies, workshops, and community events, we help Black youth and adults see themselves as global citizens, feel safe exploring the world, and take their first real steps toward getting a passport and traveling with confidence.
What is Passport to Black Joy?
Passport to Black Joy is a travel-based empowerment program created by Black Joy Global Travel and led by world traveler and Air Force veteran, Alphonso McCree Jr.
We use storytelling, global Black history, and practical passport education to show Black youth and adults that:
The world is bigger than what they see every day.
Travel is more affordable and accessible than they’ve been told.
They deserve to feel safe, welcomed, and joyful anywhere on this planet.
