In this video, I take you on a culturally rich tour of Washington, D.C. through the lens of Black history and heritage. From the powerful exhibits at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), to historic landmarks like the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and Howard University, this trip was both emotional and empowering.
