Message From The Host
I’m beyond excited to be hosting my first retreat since October 2022! This journey is deeply personal for me as I reflect on how far OMNoire has come.
When I launched OMNoire in 2017 with my first sold-out retreat, it was with a clear mission—to bring people of color together to explore the world, cultivate meaningful connections, and create spaces where we could heal, grow, and thrive.
Each retreat I’ve hosted has been an opportunity to expand that mission, watching our community grow stronger, more vibrant, and more supportive.
The Friendsgiving Retreat is especially close to my heart because it represents everything OMNoire stands for—luxury, adventure, culture, and, above all, the power of community.
This retreat is not just about traveling to breathtaking places but also about deepening our relationships, celebrating our unique journeys, and taking time to recharge in an environment where we can be fully ourselves.
Whether you’ve traveled with us before or this will be your first OMNoire retreat, I look forward to welcoming you into this family and sharing a transformative experience in one of the most beautiful corners of the world.
