For some people, it’s not a real vacation unless you’re somewhere warm, sun-filled, and full of sandy beaches you can relax on – but those people are wrong. Cold weather getaways are perfect for solo trips, girlfriend trips, and definitely slaycations, especially if you’re a Black woman.
There’s no such thing as a destination being too cold when you’ve got that special heat that only Black women can bring. Only we can make the coldest getaways too hot to handle with our swag, fashion, laughter and ancestral magic.
If you’ve been avoiding adding cold weather getaways to your travel wish list, today’s the day you change your mind. These ten Black women brought the heat in the cold weather, and after you check out their photos, you’ll be ready to do the same.
