On loneliness, independence and learning not to wait for company before living.
A travel journal / Estd. 2023Stories · places · field notes
To wander is one thing.
To pay attention is another.
Stories, photographs and field notes from somewhere between arriving and belonging — told through a Black woman’s lens, without turning the lens into the whole story.

Travel, but with a point of view.
Wander+Lost Noire is less about collecting destinations and more about noticing what happens when we move through them: the people, the absurdities, the privileges, the tiny discoveries and the stories we bring home.
Part travel journal, part cultural notebook, part beautifully organized tangent. Because getting lost has always been part of the point.
