I am so excited to share this Midtown Atlanta Travel Guide with you. I have lived in Atlanta for 8 1/2 years and 6 1/2 of those years have been spent in Midtown Atlanta. I have always lived in the city of Atlanta (not the suburbs #noshade lol) and Midtown has always been my favorite neighborhood.

In Midtown at the Canopy Atlanta Midtown Hotel

Midtown Atlanta sits right between downtown Atlanta and the Buckhead neighborhood so the location is perfect. However, it is not as crowded or congested as downtown and not as expensive as Buckhead. It is a very walkable neighborhood with shops, restaurants and the largest green space in the city-Piedmont Park. It is also known as the arts district because of the large number of museums. Of course the food is amazing with soul food, Southern food and fine dining. I discuss all this and more in the Midtown Atlanta Travel Guide which can be found here!

Things to do in Atlanta Georgia for Black History Month.

  • Hey 👋🏾 How is everyone doing out there?!!
I came across this picture of me in Phuket Thailand 🇹🇭 and it captures how I’m feeling after this weekend and today. 
Do you see the bewildered look on my face?!!
WHAT IS GOING ON THIS COUNTRY?

1️⃣ Another Black man killed after an interaction with police over a minor traffic violation. The facts are still coming out but apparently “an accidental” use of a gun vs a taser. I just can not. Praying for his family 🙏🏽

2️⃣ A video surfaces of a lieutenant in the armed services being pulled over harassed & assaulted by two cops because they “didn’t see” his taped temporary license plate. This video was so disturbing to watch. This man serves our country and was treated with such disrespect. Even thou I knew he lived I was afraid for his life. I’m afraid for the lives of the Black men in my family!!!! This has got to stop!!! 🛑 

3️⃣ COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are on the rise in the upper Midwest especially in Michigan and especially among UNVACCINATED individuals and the irony-younger people-not the elderly-why? Because most of the elderly are vaccinated!! But I still have to argue with people daily about why I support the vaccines 💉. It’s exhausting. People we are still in the midst of a Pandemic and dealing with several strains. Still take proper precautions. 

4️⃣ RIP to @dmx He was only 50 years old. I am 50 years. He was way to young to die. Addiction is a disease and affects way too many people in this country. If you are one of those people or know someone who is, I hope you are able to reach out for help. Please always check on your loved ones. Don’t assume they are OK no matter how much $ they have or strong they seem. 🙏🏽 ❤️ 

AND PLEASE PROTECT YOUR PEACE! I need to do a better job of this myself. It may mean social media breaks, unfollowing, unfriending or blocking toxic people from your life. 
WHEW that was a mouthful. 😆

  • As a Black Female Physician it was a pleasure to share my thoughts on the #covid19vacccine with @essence thanks to @kingronthedon 

💉Black people have been reluctant to receive the vaccines which is understandable based on the medical and scientific history in this country. I actually did a report and reenactment of the Tuskegee experiment in college. However, in that case treatment was withheld for syphilis. In this case life saving option is being offered. And Black people have also been disproportionately affected by the disease. 

💉The good news is more and more Black people are willing to and have taken one of the 3 available vaccines in the US! Yeah!! The issue now is providing better access. 

💉In terms of travelers 🧳, not only is it the best way to protect yourself and others, I think the writing is on the wall with many cruise lines requiring it, vaccine passports popping up and countries waving testing and quarantines and some also mentioning requiring it as well. 

If you are a Black globetrotter have you taken it or plan to? If you don’t plan to ever take it and you are an anti-Vaxxer it is OK...this post isn’t for you (see my latest reel 😉😉)

  • #TravelTuesday I made this graphic before the CDC announcement last week because more & more studies are coming out showing excellent results on how safe and effective the COVID19 vaccines are at preventing disease & transmission. In addition some countries are allowing travelers to forego testing & quarantine if vaccinated, some cruise lines are requiring it and vaccine passports have already popped up in NYC. 

But the big news came from @cdcgov on 4/2!! They released new guidelines for fully vaccinated people stating that:

“Fully vaccinated people can resume domestic travel and do not need to get tested before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel.

Fully vaccinated people do not need to get tested before leaving the United States (unless required by the destination) or self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States.”

YEAH!!!! Did this convince anyone on the fence about getting vaccinated? 💉

Honestly one of the biggest reasons is still herd immunity. To squash this virus 🦠 and prevent a thousand and 1 strains to pop up we need as many people as vaccinated 💉as possible. 

It really warmed my ❤️ to see all the families reunited & gathered this past Easter 🐣 weekend because of the vaccines. 

I for one can’t wait to start traveling SAFELY again. First up-a solo road trip to @visitasheville in 2 weeks! I have been once but it was a quick trip. I can’t wait to do some more exploring! 

What’s on your post vaccine travel schedule?!

  • #HappyEaster ⛪️🐣🐰🐇!!!! Easter brunch looked a little different to us this year but it was amazing nonetheless! 
Italian meatball & breakfast pizza @no246atlanta The breakfast pizza 🍕 had bacon 🥓 and was topped w fried eggs 🍳 So good!!

Atlanta is an amazing foodie town and I’m so glad so many of our favorite restaurants survived this past year. I know it wasn’t easy. We did do takeout and delivery 📦 during the year to show our support and now that we are both vaccinated we are slowly making our way back to eating out. 
How are things in your city? 

Have a great Sunday!!

  • It’s #GoodFriday of Easter Weekend and it has me thinking of all the churches, cathedrals &, Basilicas I have visited around the world 🌎 

I actually have a post on my blog from a few years ago entitled “10 Cathedrals Around the World Worth Visiting” ⛪️ 

One of my absolute favorite places is Sacré-Coeur in the Montmartre area in Paris! I have visited twice and on my last visit in 2017 it was a beautiful sunny 🌞 Saturday! 

Looking at this now It’s crazy to see all the tourists out and about! Swipe left to see the amazing views from here! 

If possible I usually enter churches to light candles 🕯 for loved ones that have passed away especially my Mother who was the originally globetrotter in our family 🌎 The last place I did this was a church in Saint-Emilion in Bordeaux France. Pretty special since she never went there. 🙏🏽

I find churches to be fascinating and gives you an idea of the history of that place and time. If you haven’t read the novel 📚
“Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett I highly recommend it. The decades and generations of families and work that went into building these ancient churches is just unbelievable. 👏🏽👏🏽 Look at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona-its still not done! 

Do you visit churches ⛪️ when you travel? If so which has been the most fascinating to you?
If you celebrate it-Happy Easter!

  • PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷!! Have you been there? If not Is it on your bucket list? 
I have been three times but have not devoted enough time there. BUT I am excited to go back and use @diningtraveler book “Guide to Puerto Rico” swipe left to take a look at this beautiful book 📚 this is not your typical guide/tour book and I can’t wait to dive in. The people, the food & culture are really captured in these pages. Well done Jessica! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

On my 1st trip YEARS ago to Puerto Rico I spent a few days for my friends Birthday and I actually did one of my first walking food tours thru Old San Juan. It was also one of my first blog posts! It really sparked my interest in how history and cultures intertwined to produce so many different cuisines throughout the Caribbean. 

My other two trips have been associated with cruises with 1 overnight stay last year. It was just enough time to have an amazing dish of shrimp 🍤 Mofonfo!! 😋😋

***If you do decide to travel to Puerto Rico COVID19 PCR tests are required within 72 hours. It is not required for re-entry into the US. Let’s do our best to protect ourselves and residents of the places we travel to from COVID19 disease & outbreaks. Better yet get vaccinated! 😁
