About Me

Hi, I’m Joy.

I’ve always been the friend people ask, “How do you travel so often?” and “Was it worth the trip?” In 2016, I founded Afrostylicity to give those conversations a home…. Here, I share places and experiences I can personally vouch for, plus the details I wish I’d known before I went. I hope you find something that sparks an idea for your next trip or even your next Saturday.
