Postcards from the Road: Black Porters, Untold Journeys & the Stories We Carry

On this episode of Trains of Thought, Kristian Rouse-Robinson sits down with Marty Lewis, diversity-in-travel advocate, content creator, and author of The ABC Travel Green Book.

From chance airport meetings to global adventures, Marty has become one of the leading voices of today’s Black travel movement, making sure Black travelers are seen, supported, and celebrated.

Together, they dive into Black travel, the spaces we’re reclaiming, and the often-overlooked stories of Black Canadian history.

Inspired by her great-grandfather’s letters from his days as a sleeping car porter, Kristian connects past and present to explore the Black travel movement, the legacies we’ve inherited, and the ones we’re building right now.
