:: OUR MISSION ::
In a majority Black city where tourism generates a staggering 6 billion dollars, the lack of Black representation and more importantly impact for local communities is a huge issue Philly Experiences enjoy being the native owned, ethical solution to. We are a proudly Black, LGBTQIA+ and hood owned social impact brand. In 2024, it is disheartening to report that Black-owned businesses represent only 4% of all local businesses. This fuels our mission to directly support them through awareness, increased foot traffic/sales, and collaborations.
​
At Philly Experiences, every ticket or digital guide you purchase assists us in challenging the narrative of what is deemed the "hood" pre and post-gentrification and turn tourism dollars into free resources and community building events for our underserved locals and businesses at low or no cost to them.
​
Join us in the journey to amplify a better, Blacker THRIVING Philadelphia today.

“Travel changed me and it only took one trip to do so,” shares Watts. From her own experience learning about the issues faced by locals on a spontaneous trip to Barbados, Watts came up with the idea to share her story and the stories of her community — her black, LGBTQIA+, hood culture community — with travelers through her Morals & Murals Hood Tour.
