Elevate & Explore Black Nova Scotia
Back in January, we had the pleasure of spending time with the wonderful @uphouseinc team who travelled all the way from Winnipeg to the East Coast to visit us!
As part of their work with @tourismhrcanada on their new Discover Tourism website, they developed a video series, sharing stories of those in the tourism industry and the potential this sector has to offer.
โAs a Black woman living in Nova Scotia, Renรฉ Boudreau knew firsthand how underrepresented her community was. She set out to change that. Her immense pride in her home and her culture, and her belief in the power and impact of fair representation led her to launching her own tourism business, @elevateandexploreblackns.
Her mission was clear: improve representation, so more people will feel welcomed. By shining a spotlight on the Black community exploring and enjoying all the wonders of Nova Scotia, Renรฉ knew she could compel more Black travellers to visit - and keep coming back.
Throughout Renรฉโs advocacy, for her community and her home province, she has experienced profound personal growth, gaining the confidence to use her voice as a force for positive change. Her career in tourism became so much more than a job - itโs a way of honouring her home and her people - and sheโs proud of it.โ - @uphouseinc / @tourismhrcanada

โThe most important tips I have when it comes to travel is to keep an open mind. Be open to new experiences and meet new people. Connect and listen to their stories, immerse yourself in different cultures and go on lots of adventures. Step out of your comfort zone. You might feel nervous to take that solo trip or try something new but I promise, itโs worth it in the end. Whether itโs for pleasure or for work โ travel can change your life.โ โ Jasmine Murphy
