TESTIMONIALS



It was by far the best trip I have taken in many years. It was well organized and curated specifically with our group in mind. Theresa was attentive and personable. I got exactly what I wanted from this trip, which I have want to take for 30 years. This experience far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Theresa for making this a truly memorable experiences.



Phyllis H.



I had a good experience. It was a small friendly group, the experience was highly educational. I enjoyed Bahia and would jump at the chance to travel with "Nomadic Nani" in the future.



Quentin D.



I so enjoyed our immersion into our Afro Brazilian culture. You planned experiences that allowed our traveling family to ask the questions and see first hand responses to our rich, resilient history. In my travels, this was one of the best. Your bubbly, compassionate personality was a perfect match for us all. You are phenomenal and our tour guide was also personable, knowledgeable and just kind. I feel that we all became extended family. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I was fortunate enough to experience my first trip to Brazil with Nomadic Noni! I knew it was gonna be a good trip just by looking at the itinerary beforehand, but it was even more incredible than I could've imagined! We were with a group of students that included my son, so it was important to me that we both were safe but also had a rich authentic experience. Noni was able to connect us with real people in real communities that rarely felt like tourists. Everyone was so warm and talented and informative and welcomed us like family. I'm sure there are lots of different ways to experience Brazil, but if you ever want a true cultural immersion in Salvador, Bahia I would highly recommend you travel with Noni.

I love the trip to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil that Theresa coordinated because it was an easy way to experience Afro-Brazilian culture without being fluent in Portuguese. My best experiences were the indoor and outdoor markets, cultural museum. viewing the historical sites and enjoying the local cuisine.



Andrea B.



Amazing! Culturally enlightening! Flawless in its design and execution! Theresa went “above and beyond” in creating wonderful experiences for us.



Angela L.



Had a great time. Lodging was in a great neighborhood. Food cooking experience was the highlight of the trip for me. The education from the tour guide on Brazil was awesome..

A Journey of over 20 years





For more than two decades, Theresa has developed tours, events and educational programs to foster connections between Africa and the Diaspora. Her African-centered foundation began in Chicago, where she attended Shule Ya Watoto preschool, and continued at an African-centered elementary and middle school. This foundation was further strengthened at home.

After earning a B.A. in Marketing and Management from Clark Atlanta University, she founded an event production company that produced three Afrocentric bridal shows in Chicago. After completing an event management program at George Washington University, she took a course in heritage tourism that inspired her to travel abroad.

In 1999, she co-organized a Rites of Passage Research Study Tour to Ghana, West Africa. In 2002, Theresa founded SankofaSpirit, a non-profit organization whose mission was to provide cultural and educational programs and services. She continued coordinating groups to Ghana and expanded to the Gullah Sea Islands. In 2005 she hosted the first Movies with a Mission film screening in her home that later expanded to a monthly film series held in Atlanta, Chicago, and DC area. Her passion for youth led her to create in 2007 Passport 2 Adventure, an educational travel program for young people to discover the cultural connections between Africa and the Diaspora. This program was designed to explore destinations in Africa, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe.


Today, she continues to pursue her passion by helping others travel without the hassle of planning every detail.
