Tough Girl Podcast

Jessica is a Detroit-born Ugandan-American who got her start with traveling when she was just four years old, and in October 2019, she became the first Black Woman to travel to every country in the world.    Jessica is a cultural ambassador, writer, photographer, travel expert and entrepreneur, whose work is about changing the travel narrative and making the travel space more inclusive. She is the founder and CEO of The Catch, a lifestyle brand featuring goods acquired during her global adventures.    Jessica is committed to raising cultural awareness and encourages people to think positively about other countries and the world at large, so that we don’t miss out on opportunities to have amazing experiences with our neighbours.    In March 2019, she was named one of the 30 Most Powerful Women in Travel by Conde Nast Traveler.    Jessica is currently working on her first book, to be published by National Geographic in May 2022.     New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7
