"No matter where you travel in the world take time to learn about you Black history in that place. You'll come away enlightened, richer, with knowledge of who we are and have been in this world." Ricki Stevenson, Black Paris Tours
“A beautiful experience of the lesser known side of Amsterdam. A must for every Dutch citizen and tourists! I truly enjoyed this tour and the chance to do this with all of you! Thanks!” Valika Smeulders "Today on the Black Amsterdam Heritage tour we cruised past the Scheepvaartmuseum where, next to a replica of the VOC ship Amsterdam, Sinterklaas' "pakjesboot" (the boat carrying Sinterklaas presents) was moored. That image was just striking.” Egbert Alejandro Martina “Being on the water and hearing Dutch history been told in a way I never hear was just, it was food for the soul! It gave me so much to think about. I told all my friends and they are so excited to take it!!! So, thank you Jennifer for putting effort in this! It's a story never told, this has never been done. But time has changed. Put me on the tour guide list for Dutch & English! Bēylul Yosef-Ykeallo “This is HUGE! I'm so happy for you and for all of the lives that will be touched by the tour. I learned so much and can't wait to share it!” Shantrelle P. Lewis “It was a privilege to join you with the pilot Jennifer. Thank you so much! You have all my respect and support to a project of great importance as yours is.” Patricia Schor “Enlightening, educational, fun; and, highly recommended!" Oseye “The legacy of slavery can be identified throughout the Netherlands today even if it is not currently so explicit, not so visible, not so palpable as it could be“ (Stephen Small, 2012). The Black Heritage Amsterdam tour is a very appealing way to trace this legacy along the canals and in some of the museums of Amsterdam. It has been an interesting and rewarding experience to see Jennifer's idea grow as one of the highlights of the commemoration of the abolition of slavery in the Dutch colonies in Surinam and the Antilles." Annemarie de Wildt “Jennifer, thank YOU! It was not only a chance for me to learn, to discuss and to reflect but also to have the chance to get inspired by your activism, your commitment to tell another story, to make it happen and to touch the lives of others; and, to get to know other amazing people on the tour. You make a difference!!! Thanks!” Emanuelle Santos "Jennifer, so glad you're undertaking this much needed endeavor; very proud of the initiative you took!" Earl Jozefzoon Longwood “A very warm and emotionally intelligent human being, who tells her story, and our story, so eloquently. I will share this. Thank you.” Joanne Forde |
