Hi, I'm Courtney Daniella and welcome to the #Glowing&Growing journey. At the end of 2021, I quit running my own six-figure business to focus on my personal growth and work on a passion project. I've just moved in with my best friend and we're building 'To My Sisters,' a global digital sisterhood promoting the wellness, growth, and development of a community of sisters across the world.
Follow my story this year as it's sure to be full of adventure, life lessons, and transformation. Will I achieve my dream body as I embark on losing over 100lbs? Can To My Sisters become the biggest and most impactful sisterhood community in the world? Where will dedication to my education, health, and talent get me by December 2022? I guess we'll both find out as the #GlowingAndGrowing journey unfolds.

    I went on a solo trip for the first time in April to Gothenburg and Stockholm and I had the best time ever. I actually believe it changed me a little bit haha so I love seeing other women travel by themselves too ❤️ Greece looks wonderful and you look beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing this experience with us! Love you Courtney 😊

    Sure thing sis, so I first realise that as a Black woman who has a British Accent, my travel experience may be different to other people. I also have the resources and access to spaces which may be a little bit safer for me. I haven't encountered my racist incidents whilst travelling, sometimes someone will have a conversation with me which may reveal that they're a little bit ignorant which doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, luckily because I am a tourist I can easily leave the conversation or choose to engage in it to bring some education should I wish. I think when I travel especially to a country where I'm a racial minority, I make more of a point to take safety precautions seriously, especially if i'm travelling alone. So I always check reviews of hotels and establishments to make sure they're hospitable, I try to find content from other Black women and take their recommendations etc. My tips would be: - Try to have as much fun as possible, you deserve to travel wherever you want - Listen to the experiences of those who have been there but don't let anything scare you, just be mindful - Stay in places with a good reputation / reviews - If you are solo travelling, stay in areas which are more 'touristy' and easier to navigate as a tourist

    I love it! This was my 2nd time travelling alone, first time was to Budapest in 2017. I love doing things solo anyway so travelling felt like the natural next step. But it definitely requires more budgeting because you can't split costs with anyone. I try to take precautions to stay safe and I just relax and have a good time.
