Chasing the Dream

Marlie and Anthony Love are content creators, travel experts, speakers, and founders of Traveling While Black (TWB®), a media collective dedicated to inclusive travel and educational content. After meeting in their home state of Missouri, the Loves discovered their shared passion for exploring the world together and began documenting their journeys after relocating to the Pacific Northwest.

Inspired by the historical Green Book, they launched TWB® to inspire safe and inclusive travel for the Black community and their allies. Since then, they have produced more than 170 episodes, establishing themselves as a trusted resource for BIPOC travelers, hospitality brands, and tourism organizations worldwide.

Their work has been featured in Travel + Leisure, The Seattle Times, Travel Noire, and on The Drew Barrymore Show. The first season of their Northwest Emmy-nominated television series, TWB® with Anthony and Marlie, premiered on FOX SOUL in late 2024, with a second season set to air in Fall 2025.

In addition to their digital storytelling, the Loves launched TWB Seattle Neighborhood Tours in September 2025, inviting guests to explore the city through history, culture, and Black-owned businesses. Building on that success, they are expanding into regional and specialty tours across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

As speakers, Marlie and Anthony share their expertise on inclusive travel, storytelling, and the importance of representation in tourism, continuing their mission to create spaces where all travelers feel seen, safe, and welcomed.
