OUR STORY

Hello!
I’m Shannon
and this is Parlour.

I created Parlour as an ode to what I knew to be true: that there is a strong community of globally connected, savvy, and creative Black women out there that love to travel. Like me.

I started my 'travel life' pretty early, taking my first trip in my mother's womb from Germany to Paris to the United States. Surrounded by her finds from living in Asia and Europe as a little girl, I knew there was a world to be traveled, and as soon as I could afford my first ticket as an adult—I was out!

Thanks to a successful career in advertising, a love of solo travel soon followed. It was at that time that Parlour Travel was born out of being a pop culture blog into a full-scale travel brand.

By creating a platform for Black women's travel stories, and a company dedicated to designing and producing experiences tailored for Black women, Parlour has quickly the premier place for the community I knew was already there. For women who love to travel luxe, travel responsibly, and travel fly!
