Amanda Lyn is passionate about amplifying the multiplicity of the Black experience through negotiations of belongingness. Her doctoral research engages with Black mobility, travel and leisure to examine the racial underpinnings of tourism as well as the liberatory possibilities that might arise for Black women as they negotiate Leisure travel. Amanda strongly believes that our communities, the sharing of our experiences, our joy and our moving bodies are radical acts of resistance.
