Drift With Us →

Exploration fuels our motivation to travel. We began traveling to change our surroundings and continue to do so because our best experiences happen when we're on the move. Traveling strikes the perfect balance between fear, curiosity, and impulsivity for us. It's the people we meet, the culture we immerse ourselves in, and the thrill of discovering new things that drives us to share our experiences with others.

Our Pillars

  • 1Representation

    We want you to see yourself in everything we make. All the shades, all the language and all the vibes. Melanin rich is such a variation and we represent all of that. We are very much aware that through representation we have the ability to change the perception that melanated people don't travel internationally or that travel is only for the wealthy.

  • 2Access

    BKT provides access to travel through education and group trips. For those who aren’t currently able to travel, they can plug in to our community and learn the ins and outs of travel. Those who can, are encouraged to travel with us as we explore the world. The more people in our community that begin to understand that travel is feasible, the closer we are to changing our community.

  • 3Support

    We are motivated to provide financial assistance to help people within our community travel both domestically and abroad.

We Making S#!t

We’re a group of like-minded individuals united by our melanin and passion for travel. Our paths crossed in Bali, where we discovered a shared vision of using our backgrounds in film and international travel to showcase the beauty and diversity of the world to our community. Together, we’re on a mission to inspire and empower others to step out of their comfort zones and explore the world.
