The Sacred Libation Tour

The purpose of this spiritual Tour is to honor our ancestors. Healing and dealing with the old wounds of slavery, Jim Crow, and basically all pain of the African American experience up until the Civil Rights period. 

​

We'll do Libations (offerings) at Congo Square ( Birthplace of Jazz). So bring coins, flowers, fruit, incense, Gin, Rum, candles, or any other item your ancestors will like. We will visit The tomb of the unknown Slave's grave. Located at St. Augustine's Church the first Catholic church for people of African descent, Free and enslaved!  After, we head to the heart of New Orleans, The French Quarter. We visit the locations of the biggest slave markets in the Nation! There we will have some minutes of silence. Stopping at Hidden slave pens on Esplanade Ave. on our way to the musician's village. (This can be an emotional experience, so come braced and brave, just like they came.)

​

Dooky Chase's Restaurant 

Dooky Chase’s Restaurant played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement. At the corner of Orleans Avenue and North Miro Street, Dooky Chase held and fed countless numbers of Civil Rights activists and revolutionaries. Today, the family-owned restaurant remains at its original intersection serving award-winning cuisine to a host of locals, visitors, politicians, public figures, and Queens Who Trip!

​

New Orleans Black Heritage & Jazz City Tour

This off-the-beaten-path tour will visit all Black-owned businesses on Bayou Road, Congo Square, Amstrong Park, and Treme' -the first African American neighborhood in the United States.

​

The tour is honest. No sugar coated-skippin over the unpleasant truth of Slavery. We'll start at the beginning, of the Africans' forced journey, their music, the healing Drum circles of the enslaved at Congo Square (aka Birthplace of Jazz), and the story of slavery and resistance! 

​

This 2.5-hour guided tour is in a Covid cautious, air-conditioned minivan that will take us deeper into the heart & soul of New Orleans. On this tour, you get a chance to buy, books, local art, black art, jewelry, African fabrics,  handmade soaps, skincare, NOLA-style cupcakes, and more!
