Episode 30: Meet Ashley N. Company - Founder & CEO of Jelani Travel & World Traveller

Ashley joins us from Baltimore, Maryland where we dive into the 10 year journey she’s been on to create high quality, transformative experiences for those looking to travel in an impactful way. After leaving her corporate job at a Fortune 50 company, Ashley followed her passion to start a charity called Jelani Gives - to help open up the world to youth that are less fortunate to see it. 

From there Jelani Travel was formed and now celebrates it’s 10 year anniversary creating curated experiences for Black travelers, reimagining Africa and fostering cultural understanding. 

The company has planned over 600 travel experiences, visited 108 countries, explored 6 continents and explored 35 states! Ashley has spoken and worked with Brands such as Google, Mailchimp, Lyft & Uber about unique travel experiences for their workforce. Jelani Travel also focuses on custom group trips for anyone looking to explore a new destination intimately.

Get inspired as we talk about the beauty of Africa that the media tends to shy away from; as well as what to experience when there. EVERY trip planned by Jelani Travel, has Ashley going to that destination beforehand to get a first hand experience of what her clients will do and see.
