Well this is awkward, but… my name is actually Brittney.
Why did I use Ebony you're probably asking at this point? I wanted to create a space for melanated people that captured a lot of the concerns I often heard. I also wanted to make sure the name felt inviting. This blog is open to whom ever is interested in finding out more information about traveling alone (or not), being a flight attendant and just my experiences in general. So *boom*, here comes Ebony.
Not to mention, all the Ebony’s I’ve met over the years have been unafraid to conquer the world. So the name felt befitting.
