Traveling While Black & Brown
<p>The first big trip Traci Howard-Richards took was a European excursion in 2000, following her college graduation. Howard-Richards adored Paris, with its renowned museums and bustling cafes. And she loved Amsterdam, with its canal-lined streets and candy-colored houseboats.</p>
<p>Howard-Richards recalled with fondness spotting her preferred brand of hair grease, “Dark-n-Lovely,” upon arriving at the Paris train station and thinking, “I could live here.”</p>
<p>In Amsterdam, she was struck by the R&B music she heard playing in restaurants. Howard-Richards says she was surrounded by “people who have extremely fair skin and them loving the soul music, them loving Tina Turner. I’m like — again — I can live here.”</p>
