In this throwback episode the hosts discuss their experiences traveling abroad and the concerns they have in certain countries. Janae dives deep in feeling like an outsider in Spain as Kia explains why she had a completely different experience in the same country. Kia talks about China having the biggest culture difference and how the way the country approaches black travelers can make you feel similar to either a "celebrity" or an "alien." Amari opens up about being discriminated against on a trip to Pittsburgh and Rachel explains how the country's history makes her concerned about traveling in the south. The four women discuss the top 8 best and worst places for black people to travel, give resources for black travelers and reveal which place they would like to explore next.

Have you noticed that there always seems to be a disconnect between African Americans and other people in the Diaspora? Why does it feel like being labeled "African American" is a bad thing? Sufficiently Black explores these questions with "daughter of Africa," Howard University Professor Dr. Amy Yeboah Quarkume. Dr. A explains the importance of language to limit the divide, whether people in the Diaspora are capable of cultural appropriation and the issues with Marvel's Black Panther.
