Local Portraits: Beautiful Young Girls in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱📸

In case you’re new to my page, I’m Queenie, and I share all things related to African and diaspora travels!

One of my favorite things to do when visiting African countries is capturing portrait shots of the incredible people I meet. To me, Black is beautiful, and it deserves to be celebrated and shared. Each person’s eyes tell a unique story, and I’m driven to capture that essence through my lens…a passion that began a few years ago.

I had the honor of meeting these amazing young girls at an orphanage where our group donated a variety of essential items. They radiated talent, kindness, happiness, and ambition. With joy, they lined up to let me photograph them, creating a moment I’ll always treasure.

Aren’t they absolutely stunning?! 😍

Imagine hearing that you would never see Africa again…

For so many of our ancestors, those were their last words before being torn from their homeland. But now, we’re coming back…for them, for us, for the legacy they left behind. Hosting group trips that reconnect the diaspora with Africa is a powerful full circle moment.

We’re not only reclaiming our history, but also investing in the future by employing locals and bridging the gap between Africa and the diaspora.

This is our journey home. 🌍

Journey home with on a group trip ✊🏾

Senegal Group Trip 🇸🇳

🦁✨ Lion Strength Runs in Our DNA✨🦁

In the heart of Senegal, our guests stepped into their power, walking alongside one of nature’s greatest leaders – the lion. 🦁🌍

Just like the lions in the wild, Black people have always embodied strength, leadership, and resilience. It’s in our DNA, passed down through generations from our ancestors who roamed this land. 🌿✊🏾

We couldn’t bring our guests to Senegal without giving them the chance to experience the true essence of our heritage – walking with the kings of the jungle! 👑

Stamp’d In Senegal 2024 Welcome Dinner Vibes 🇸🇳🐆

After visiting Senegal in 2023 I KNEW I had to have other people experience the beauty of Senegal. Fast forward a year later and Urban Flight Collective has just completed our Senegal group trip!

The Senegal Welcome Dinner was themed around leopard print as a powerful symbol of our strength and resilience. Just as leopards in the wild embody fierceness, grace, and agility, Black people carry these same traits within us.

We took our Stamp’d In Kenya group trip guests on a Kenyan safari because you can’t go to Africa and NOT do a safari! We saw the big 5 which is what I was aiming for.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞”? - The “Big Five” is a term that is used to refer to the 5 African animals that early big game hunters considered most difficult and dangerous animals to hunt on foot in Africa.

1. 🐘 Elephants: Towering giants of the savannah, symbolizing strength and wisdom. Witnessing them in their natural habitat was truly humbling.

2. 🦏 Rhinoceros: Majestic and endangered, spotting these incredible beasts was a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation efforts
3. 🦁 Lions: The kings and queens of the jungle, their regal presence sent shivers down our spines. Watching them roam freely was a true privilege.

4. 🐆 Leopards: Elusive and mysterious, catching a glimpse of these spotted beauties was like finding treasure in the wilderness.

5. 🐃 Cape Buffalo: Massive and formidable, these beasts complete the Big 5, showcasing the raw power of nature.
