Ashley N. Company, CEO of Jelani Travel, Celebrates 10 Years Of Creating Over 600 Global Travel Experiences To 108 Countries
Emphasizing travel as a form of radical self care, Jelani Travel, a leading travel company providing curated and meaningful experiences for travelers, celebrates its 10-year anniversary this month.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As Jelani Travel marks its 10th year of operation, the company has curated over 600 travel experiences, visited 108 countries, explored 6 continents, and ventured into 35 states. The celebration reflects a decade of commitment to fostering cultural understanding and social impact. Since its inception, the woman and veteran owned company has been dedicated to reimagining Africa for people of African descent, leading epic journeys to many countries and leaving an indelible mark. Brands such as Google, Mailchimp, Lyft, Uber, and more have charted unique speaking and travel experiences for their workforce, curated by Founder and CEO, Ashley N. Company.
Jelani Travel stands out as the ultimate vacation with a purpose, emphasizing self-care, service, culture, and adventure. "I've traveled three continents with Jelani Travel and every destination has been amazing but my experience being able to travel throughout Africa has been life changing. I find myself feeling refreshed, more creative, and more present each time I return from a trip and use it as a staple in my annual self care regime," stated traveler and executive leader, Meagan Lemelle. Participants engage in service activities while experiencing trips in ways previously unimaginable. The company works in tandem with the nonprofit organization Jelani Gives, aiming to empower the next generation by providing educational and cultural opportunities to Black children. The organization envisions a world where Black American youth have access to culturally competent learning experiences that expand their understanding of history and develop their leadership capacity.
Ms. Company is the driving force behind these initiatives, stemming from a remarkable journey that led her to master a foreign language and make a bold departure from her corporate career at a Fortune 50 company. Company has a deep passion for educating others on the power of soul deepening and radical self care. She sees travel as the ultimate outlet to experience freedom and a sense of belonging. Those burnt out from work and life are offered a bonding and heart opening moment with Company and others. Company's purpose lies in helping others live a more authentic life filled with connection and adventure.
With 108 countries visited, an Amazon best selling activity book, "Travel-ish" and 10 years dedicated to cultural immersion and service trips, Company has become a sought-after keynote speaker, captivating audiences with talks on solo travel, women in entrepreneurship, social impact, and cultural identity.
"Travel is freedom personified. Intentional travel liberates us because it heals layers within us that we may not even know need attention. I know this is true because travel saved my life. As I reflect on the last decade, what I know for sure is that the transformative power of travel has left a profoundly positive impact on my clients and community," stated Company.
As part of our 10-year celebration, we invite you to feature Ashley N. Company on your show. With her wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and cultural exchange, Ashley is available for insightful discussions on topics ranging from solo travel to social impact.
