This article explores the feminist potential and possibilities of Black women's travel writing. The author reflects on her travel stories, in dialogue with other Black women's travel memoirs, to make two arguments: (1) we must expand and deepen our citational practices in anthropology to critically engage more seriously with Black women's work, especially those who have been marginalized or excluded from the “canon”; (2) international travel is crucial to forming the connections and networks necessary to be able to cite Black women's work transnationally
