Sojourn Noir is designed with the Black traveler in mind.

We promote Black tourism to York, PA, an area rich with culture, history and a community of creators; and with close proximity to major cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC.

Sojourn Noir recognizes that Black people in the U.S. have historically and purposely been denied the self care practices of rest, luxury, and leisure including the opportunity to travel and explore freely. It is beyond time to change that.

Sojourn Noir defines self care as the purposeful and intentional stepping away from systems of oppression whose purpose is to keep one too exhausted, frustrated and distracted to have space to dream, imagine, and actualize freedom. It includes but is not limited to nourishment from food, relationships and environment as well as the savoring of play, leisure, hobbies and, of course, rest and sleep.

We partner with local retailers, restaurants, the hospitality and tourism industry to help create inviting spaces and experiences in York, PA where Black travelers feel respected, welcome and inspire a sense of belonging.
