Theresa “Noni” Charles has spent more than 25 years creating meaningful connections between travelers, culture and communities across Africa and the African Diaspora.

As the founder of Nomadic Noni and SankofaSpirit, Theresa brings together decades of experience in cultural programming, group travel and African Diaspora education. Her work has taken travelers beyond traditional sightseeing to experience the history, people, foodways and traditions that give each destination its story.
