Why “Black People Be Trippin‘”?
At first glance, the name Black People Be Trippin’ usually gets one of two reactions: people either laugh…or wonder if they should be offended.
That’s by design.
The name is a double entendre; we like to evoke thought. “Trippin’” isn’t about acting foolish. It’s about traveling, exploring, discovering, experiencing something new and making the most of this life while we’re here.
For far too long, there’s been a stereotype that Black people don’t travel, don’t explore and don’t show up in certain spaces.
WE KNOW BETTER!
Black People Be Trippin is a lifestyle community built around travel, local (Atlanta) events, useful resources, deals and discounts, Black-owned businesses, community celebrations, things worth knowing about and opportunities to connect with people who might be interested in doing some of the same things you are.
COME FOR WHAT YOU WANT. SKIP WHAT YOU DON’T.
There’s no pressure to participate in everything, spend every waking minute with the group or suddenly become everybody’s new best friend.
See a deal you want to grab and go solo dolo? Do your thing.
Find an event you want to check out with your own crew? Y’all have fun.
See something BPBT is doing and want to come with us? Even better. Come on!
Want to show up for one event and disappear back into your private space afterward? We respect it. 😂
Want to meet some folks and build genuine connections along the way? We’re here for that too.
Personally, I’m a hugger. If that’s not your thing, I completely respect your space, your boundaries and a good ol’ head nod can work out nicely too. 😂
Black People Be Trippin’ is here to give you options—not obligations.
YOU GOOD WITH US? WE GOOD WITH YOU.
BPBT is unapologetically rooted in Black culture and intentional about supporting Black-owned businesses, celebrating our community and creating spaces where we are seen and understood.
That doesn’t mean you need to be Black to participate.
Come with respect, come with good vibes and come ready to enjoy yourself!
