    I Did It Scared in Malaysia and Life Will Never be the Same

    In Puerto Rico it was zip lining and rappelling through a rain forest. In Paris, it was experiencing the marks that African American artists and entertainers had left on the city during the Walking Spirit Black Paris Tour. Oh, and let’s not forget about the escargot!
