About Miriam,

Founder and CEO of Discover ME Travel

Miriam, the Founder and CEO of Discover ME Travel was born in Africa but migrated to the U.S where she settled with her family in an African American community in the East Coast. Growing up in an African American community as a Historian and a Political Scientist, she realized that there was a piece missing for the people of African American descent. She describes it as a piece best explained by the author James Baldwin that “to be African American is to be American without privilege and African without Memory”. The memory piece is what led to the birthing of this project to allow every person African American descent desiring to see their land of origin be able to travel to Africa.
It is Miriam’s hope that when an individual engages in one or several of these trips, it will be a reminder of one’s original identity absence of the negative narratives that have over the centuries been used to paint the person of the African American descent unfairly and inaccurately. She desires that everyone will see that they are first African before they are anything else. That they will see beautiful Africa which is them and it lives in them. That they are not African because they were born in Africa but because Africa is born in them, thus the return.

Miriam has partnered with several companies in the U.S and in diverse African countries to create a safe and enjoyable Travel experience for everyone that desires to experience Africa. Discover ME Travel has worked tirelessly to put together itineraries for 17 African Countries to allow everyone a choice of a Nation they would like to travel to for the experience. We have negotiated the best possible prices with the hope that they are reasonable for the Travelers.

Rediscovering Identity Through Travel

Miriam's mission is to provide African Americans the opportunity to reconnect with their roots. She believes that through these journeys, individuals will be reminded of their original identity, free from the negative narratives that have long misrepresented African American heritage. Miriam's vision is for everyone to understand that they are inherently African, seeing the beauty of Africa within themselves. She emphasizes that being African is not merely about being born on the continent but having Africa born in you.

Creating Safe and Enjoyable Travel Experiences

To achieve her mission, Miriam has partnered with numerous companies across the U.S. and various African countries. These collaborations ensure that Discover ME Travel offers safe, enjoyable, and enriching travel experiences for everyone interested in exploring Africa.
