Award-winning Black travel influencer Eileen Ivette recently visited the city to highlights things to do in Jacksonville to amplify the city\u2019s Black travel destinations.\u00a0 Northside Pride founder, Dana Maule showed her how to eat, shop and explore Jacksonville\u2019s Northside at top travel destinations for Black History Month.<\/p>\n

Eileen travels the world to help the African-American Diasporas and those interested in it curate travel experiences that are safe and culturally aligned with their interests. For three days, she documented her travel experience in The 904! Stops included an eco-tour at Therapeutic Nursery and Gardens, an urban food forest; Chef Love\u2019s food truck at the Trout River Food Park; and RnB Mostly, an after-dark music event in the Phoenix Arts District.<\/p>\n

Volunteers met Eileen at Jacksonville International Airport with warm southern hospitality and roaring Northside Pride cheers. The travel influencer will distribute reels of her trip to Jacksonville on all social platforms through Visit Jacksonville. The city\u2019s tourism industry welcomed 8 million visitors in 2024 and generated a $7.4 billion economic impact in the same year. Northside Pride hopes to redirect more tourism dollars to Jacksonville\u2019s Northside to combat divestment by developing more culture tours and advocating for tourism equity.<\/p>\n
