In 2015, I started Jet Black, a boutique<br />

travel firm that helps people to journey<br />

beyond their daydreams. We do group<br />

trips so that people can travel to awesome<br />

destinations with other dynamic<br />

individuals and we also curate unique<br />

itineraries for those looking to plan their<br />

own vacations. We also have a shop that<br />

contains Jet Black Finds, goodies that I<br />

pick up from my trips, #JetBlackFlash,<br />

temporary gold metallic tattoos that<br />

let you show off your love of travel and<br />

blackness and finally Jet Black branded<br />

products.<br />

My travels, my blog and my business<br />

all align because I am nothing, if not<br />

a nomad, itching to buy my next flight.<br />

-------------------------------<br />

Born and raised in Detroit to Ugandan immigrants,<br />

Jessica is Afropolitan. Seeds of<br />

travel and wander were planted at an early<br />

age when she embarked on her first international<br />

journey, traveling to London and<br />

Uganda at the age of six. Jessica’s sense<br />

of adventure led her to move to Japan in<br />

2008, giving life to Catch Me If You Can.<br />

Jessica has lived, worked and studied on<br />

four continents and visited over 60 countries<br />

on six continents. Catch Me If You<br />

Can chronicles her travels, the people she<br />

meets along the way, and features many<br />

of the poignant images she has captured,<br />

with hopes of encouraging readers to get<br />

out and see life through a different cultural<br />

lens.
