We Are Back!
What a way to kick off my tours for 2024. Thank you to this incredible group for bringing the spirit of learning to the educational experience.
It was such an honour and a pleasure in guiding a new set of attendees for the City Of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour.
This year August marks 5 years since we brought this excursion to the masses. Every year, we get to meet incredible minds, and collectively, we can say that having a space for discussions on history builds a unison of kindred spirits.
This group has ethnicities connected to Barbados ๐ง๐ง, Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช Jamaica ๐ฏ๐ฒ, Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ , St. Lucia ๐ฑ๐จ and Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ.
The next tour date is: Saturday 27th April.

Another tour, another experience.
Thank you to this incredible bunch of keen thinkers. The laughter and intense emotions kept us all warm.
We are ever so grateful to have the space and capacity to bring people together under one common cause; to learn the true history hidden in plain sight.
There is only one tour left of the year:
Saturday, 2nd December 2023.

And that's a wrap!
City of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour Black History Month special is over.
Thank you to the 21 guests who made the final day so special. This incredible group has roots that span across the USA, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
We are overwhelmed by the amazing people I have met this month. To be able to bring people together to discuss history on a wider perspective is a blessing. We can't stress enough how much we can all grow together by sharing thoughts and ideas.

The most heated tour to date.
A lot was discussed, and personal thoughts were shared, including our CEO and tour guide .blake being told he "๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐น๐ฑ๐ป'๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐น๐๐
๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐๐ป'๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ." Another expression (whilst on a Slave Trade Tour) was that they "๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ป'๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ."
Despite this, it was a good conversation, and sometimes, a difference of opinions is needed as a reminder that there are some people who will protect racist ideology until the end.
This team of thinkers have roots and nationalities connected to France ๐ซ๐ท, Guinea ๐ฌ๐ณ, Hungary ๐ญ๐บ, India ๐ฎ๐ณ, Jamaica ๐ฏ๐ฒ, Liechtenstein ๐ฑ๐ฎ and Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
The debates amongst the attendees lead to emotions being high, which left us all thinking that more teachings of true history need to be done at an earlier age.

This team of thought provokers have roots connected to Australia ๐ฆ๐บ, Dominica ๐ฉ๐ฒ, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช, Ghana ๐ฌ๐ญ, Jamaica ๐ฏ๐ฒ, Sierra Leone ๐ธ๐ฑ and the USA ๐บ๐ธ.
The discussions amongst the attendees led to tour over time, of which we spent a whopping ๐ฐ+ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ conversing perspectives and sharing cognitive understandings about colonialism.

Another great tour.
Thank you to this amazing group that brought energy and humour to the learning experience. One of the best features about the tour is that the variation of cultures enables a wider conversation about historical events and perspectives.

The more conversations that happen around British colonialism, the more we realise the impact England has had across the globe.
The past 500 years have brought some of the most disturbing treatment of human lives in history. The national curriculum points to national heroes, but the truth points towards the racist, classist, misogynistic mindset that plagued Britain into being the most deadliest criminal in modern history.

Thank you to Toni Show & Geoff Foughnor for flying in from LA ๐บ๐ธ and booking a private City Of London: Slave Trade Tour.
It was a pleasure to be able to provide you both with the obscured history of Britain. It was also an honour to be your reference for the Black experience in the UK for your first trip to England.
Only water separates us. However, our legacy for the fight for truth and freedom is the same. The more we discuss similarities, the more we reconnect to our unified fight for reparations and justice.

Back to it โ๐พ
Perfect weather for a perfect day. Thank you to those who joined the Bank Holiday Edition of the City Of London: Slave Trade Money Trail Tour.
This was the first time in a very long time that attendees used a pen and paper instead of the notes app on their phones. We strongly believe you retain information more when you write details down by hand.
The next tour date is: Saturday 24th June.

Thank you to for booking a private tour for some amazing minds from the U.S. ๐บ๐ธ These brilliant people possess expertise that span across Health and Wellbeing, Equality and Injustice, Childcare, Entrepreneurship and the spectrum of all things being a Nanny.
It was a pleasure bringing the UK Black experience to light and discussing truth behind the monarchy. Whilst the conversation of Critical Race Theory is currently potent, we think it's important to highlight the global contrast of oppressed and suppressed power. From the large Black population in America's to the small population in the island of St. Helena, the British has created a hierarchy of privilege as a result of the abolition of the biggest crime in human history.
My amazing guests are here for the International Nanny Conference 2023
