    Historic Hampton House in Miami

    by Tykesha77 January 13, 2021

    A few short miles away from Miami’s world-famous South Beach, there’s a little-known historic gem ­— the Hampton House Motel. Once dubbed, the “first luxury hotel for Negros in the South,” this Negro Motorist Green Book establishment was the epitome of Black excellence in Miami, Florida in the 1960s. I’ve traveled the world on a quest to learn as much as I can about the histories of Black and Brown people across the globe.  As…

    Muru Mittigar: An Aboriginal Cultural Center in Sydney

    by Tykesha77 December 18, 2019

    When we decided to visit Australia, I wanted to incorporate a lesson in Aboriginal culture and history into our itinerary.  But it was imperative that the education we received came through the prism of the people themselves.  I found a few aboriginal exhibits in museums but I was interested in something a bit more independent…a FUBU (for us, by us) version, if you will. After a bit of research, I stumbled upon this review of the…

    Remembering Anthony Bourdain

    by Tykesha77 June 9, 2018

    Chef.  Storyteller.  Traveler.  Foodie.  Legend. There are so many words that have been used to describe Anthony Bourdain since his suicide.  While all of those adjectives apply, they seem to fall short of painting an accurate portrait of who this behemoth was/is to the masses out here in these streets. As a participant in the Black travel movement and member of the global travel community, I can say that Bourdain was an inspiration.  I don’t…

But there’s something special about the composition. 💫 Maybe it’s the fact that my small child is looking up at a building that’s larger than life.

We're Tykesha, Cedric, Aubrey, and Austen and we live in Maryland. I started Momma Wanderlust in 2018 to inspire parents to travel with their kids while teaching them about Black History. ⁠⠀

I’m passionate about diversity & education. I believe travel is a great tool to helps us mold our children into well-rounded world citizens. ⁣⁠⠀

My husband and I met at a lounge in DC. We've been together 10 years and married for almost 8. ❤️ We have two⁠ kids: Aubrey is 6, and Austen is 3. ⁠⠀

I have two bachelor's degrees (Journalism & African American Studies) and a master's degree (International Human Rights Law). I don’t use any of my degrees.

The second shot captures the moment I start to fuss at my son to get him to move. He hopped out but by our 3rd try, he was back. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I'm currently reading "Atomic Habits" by @JamesCle I'm currently reading "Atomic Habits" by @JamesClear and the simple lessons are blowing my mind. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My biggest takeaway is the 1 Percent Rule. The premise states that you don't have to be twice as good to get twice the results. You only need to be slightly or 1% better to make major advancements over a period of time. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm applying the 1 Percent Rule in all aspects of my life, starting with my children.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I took inventory of how often I tell my kiddos that I love them and I've realized that I don't verbalize it enough.  I know, they know they're loved but I'm committed to declaring my love to them every day. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What small improvements can you make in your life and business? ⁠⠀
