Queen on the go: an Africana woman scholar and traveller experience.

This chapter explores the travel experiences of a Black woman who is both tourist and researcher. Navigating the cross-cultural research terrain on the continent of Africa, she encounters identity crises related to the interactions of gender, race, and nationality, accompanied by the challenges of acceptance and belonging often encountered in diaspora travellers. The chapter offers insights on opportunities to engage not only Africana women but also Africana communities of colour broadly. Further, it provides recommendations on the use of more culturally sensitive methodologies when working with these persons.
