The Black Travellers Collective
A collaboration between:
The Black Travellers Collective x GLDN
February 2025!
We are excited to announce that the founders of The Black Travellers Collective and GLDN are collaborating on another trip to Zanzibar in February 2025! This is The Black Travellers Collective’s second wellness trip and we are so excited to be doing it alongside GLDN again. GLDN is truly an amazing organisation that has been running since 2017. Its core purpose is to inspire Black women to reach their goals and pursue their purpose. The Black Travellers Collective’s core purpose is to promote the wellness of Black people and to create a space where Black people can connect with themselves through travel. Zanzibar is an incredible island located in East Africa, the sense of community there is powerful and the views of the island are breath-taking. We both feel Zanzibar is the perfect place to continue running our wellness retreats and we would love for you to join. Spaces are very limited so move quickly!
*Please note this collaboration is for Black women only. Our future trips will be for all.

Meet the founder of GLDN
My name is Shereen and I am the founder of GLDN. GLDN is a purpose group that inspires Black women to reach their goals and pursue their purpose. It was founded over six years ago. It was born from my desire to find community, inspire purpose and encourage community reflection. Since its conception, we have created a network of incredible Black women, led GLDN school workshops, hosted celebration events and watched our community shine in the most unimaginable ways. We are excited to take GLDN to the next step, by collaborating with The Black Travellers Collective for wellness retreats. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Bethany, The Black Travellers Collective’s founder, and one of our very own GLDN members. We have so many things in store and can’t wait to connect with you all in sunny Zanzibar!
