About this trip

Together, we will face the truth of our nation's history of anti-Black racial terror and violence, self reflect on the ways each of us have upheld and perpetuated white supremacy in our lives, and embrace our ability to affect change and dismantle racism, first within ourselves, and then in our families and communities.  


Our purpose is to listen to and learn from Black leadership, utilize antiracism tools and resources  to strategize ways to do less harm, be better co-conspirators to Black people and other marginalized communities of the global majority, and develop ways to move forward with mindful action toward collective liberation.


Once registered, participants will receive soul assignments, which is basically pre-work (books, podcasts, documentaries, etc) to help them get started on building a solid foundation for their personal anti-racism journey.  


This anti-racism weekend includes visits to: The National Memorial For Peace and Justice, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, Legacy Sites, and the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.


We invite you to engage in this transformational experience as we delve into these courageous conversations with trip facilitators Tony Nabors of Racial Equity Insights, and Legacy Trips founder, Tina Strawn. 


Tony Nabors (he/him) is the Owner and Principal Consultant of Racial Equity Insights. In his former position, he was also the first person to ever hold the title of “Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” in the United States for a public housing authority. With over 20 years of experience working in diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), justice, and advocacy work, Tony is passionate about moving people and organizations from hesitation and trepidation to confidence and effectiveness in their commitments to advancing racial equity.

Tony's skills include anti-racism training, consulting, strategy development, public speaking, team leadership, group facilitation and program management. He is a strong communicator and very intentional in communicating these challenging subjects in a way where everyone, from beginners to veterans in anti-racism education, will remain engaged and eager to participate. Tony also loves audio/visual media and incorporates video and photography to amplify the effectiveness and reach of his anti-racism work.

Over the past year, Tony has provided services for healthcare providers and insurers, housing nonprofits, colleges, music and arts organizations, international fundraising/outreach nonprofits, mental health support organizations, and technology firms, to name a few clients. Tony is passionate about advocating for a world where all people have equal access to thriving and success. His work champions and centers the voices and needs of the disenfranchised.

The heart of Tina's work is founding Legacy Trips, immersive antiracism experiences where participants visit historical locations such as Montgomery and Selma, AL, and utilize spiritual practices as tools to affect personal and collective change. Tina has three adult children, an ex-husband, an ex-wife, and an ex-country. She has been a minimalist and full-time writer since February 2020 and currently lives in Costa Rica. Tina travels the globe speaking, writing, teaching, and exploring where on the planet she can feel safe and free in her queer, Black, woman-identifying body.

This was a masterfully planned and facilitated trip. The majority of the weekend is self-guided, which is necessary, but Tina scaffolds you before each experience. She gave us general topics to discuss during informal meals, and guiding principals to keep in mind before moving through the museum and memorial, in addition to leading reflections afterwards. For me, her guidance deepened my time and made each portion of the weekend more impactful. Also, I really appreciate the thoughtfully curated pre and post work. I felt much more prepared for the trip because of it and am so grateful that there are resources to help integrate the work and continue connecting with others afterwards. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

What a transformational experience. Thank you Tina for guiding us through such a thoughtfully planned and executed Legacy Trip. The museum and memorial were eye opening and walking over the bridge in Selma crystalized for me how I can make personal changes to be a better ancestor. And I now have bigger network of women who will hold me accountable to making these changes. Words don't do it justice - THANK YOU!!

Wow, what an incredibly well organized trip! The accommodations were great, the meals were delicious, the workshops were AMAZING, and the tours of the Legacy Museum, the Memorial for Peace & Justice, and the walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, were all phenomenal experiences and I am forever changed!

This is my second Legacy Trip so I came to this already knowing the quality of experience that Legacy Trips provide. When I tell you that this trip blew me out of the water I am not exaggerating. I had been wanting to do plant medicine for a few years but was really concerned about the safety of the space and the care that would be provided while in the medicine. La Vida Divine is an outstanding organization with thoughtful and caring facilitators. I trusted Legacy Trips before I met La Vida Divine and feel that the relationship between Legacy Trips and La Vida Divine is a most perfect union. I highly recommend this trip if you are looking to do a plant medicine journey and are serious about being intentional and thoughtful about your experience. Love Tina, Goddess Jhoselyn and Gaddy, forever my favorites!
By Tabitha B for Legacy Trip Plant Medicine Healing Retreat on Aug 04, 2023
Tabitha, you are truly Legacy family now! It was so beautiful being on this plant medicine trip with you. I believe our paths crossed so that we could experience this kind of loving community together. Thank you for trusting me and for trusting us to walk alongside you through your journey of healing, liberation and love.
