Ep 54 | Kim Haas: Afro-Latino Travel

The Globetrotter Lounge

I talk with Kim Haas, Executive Producer, host and creator of the new PBS travel series Afro-Latino Travels with Kim Haas. The series celebrates the historical and cultural contributions of Latin America’s African descendants in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. Kim talks about what sparked her love of travel and languages, her work in Spanish media, and what led her to create the show. She also shares how she overcame funding challenges, how she’s navigating the pandemic, and how travel has changed her.

You can learn more about Kim and the show on the Afro-Latino Travels website, and say hi on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
