About the Guest : 

Tracie Collins grew up with a keen awareness of Mexico's proximity and cultural significance but had never visited the country. Her first trip to Mexico occurred in May 2022 during a hike in Tulum. From the moment she landed in Cancun, Tracie felt an immediate sense of relief and warmth, something she rarely encountered as a Black woman from the United States. The trip was a transformative experience, where she was treated with respect and kindness, making her feel truly human. By the fourth day of her five-day trip, Tracie decided that she was moving to Mexico, captivated by its beauty and welcoming atmosphere. Since then, Mexico has become a place she calls home, a country that she fell in love with and has chosen to embrace fully.
