The millennial said, “next time you’re on an [influencer] trip and you notice there is no one of color or in a wheelchair or with a hijab, say something.
Lewis has noticed that when brands have diversity and inclusion departments, as well as people of color on their corporate level, that they will tend to have a great commitment to inclusive travel. She points to Hilton Hotels and Resorts as a good example. “It warms my heart when [people] come up to me and say, ‘I am so sorry this is not on my radar,’” said Lewis. “I tell them, be an advocate, be an ally.”And now, instead of asking questions from the audience, Lewis. She was just in London to speak at World Travel Summit about diversity and inclusion, followed by an appearance in Latvia for the Women in Travel Summit.
“This is the only thing in life that feels right. Everything else felt forced,” said Lewis. “At then end of the day this is what makes my heartbeat.”, whether it be as a solo female traveler or founder of an adventure startup.
