Show notes

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Angeletha Long. A 24-year Army veteran turned travel entrepreneur: 🎯 Purpose of the Interview To highlight Angeletha Long’s journey from military service to becoming a successful travel advisor and cruise expert, and to educate listeners—especially African Americans and veterans—on the benefits and opportunities of cruising as a travel experience and business venture. 🗝️ Key Takeaways 1. Cruising as a Travel Experience Convenience & Value: Cruising offers all-inclusive packages covering accommodation, dining, entertainment, and transportation. Multi-generational Appeal: Popular among families traveling across generations. Variety of Activities: From Broadway-style shows to roller coasters and go-karts, cruises cater to adventure seekers and relaxation lovers alike. Food Culture: Cruises are known for their abundant and diverse food options, including buffets, specialty restaurants, and snack stations. “There is food here, there is food there, there is food everywhere. The one thing that you're not going to be on a cruise is hungry.” – Andelita Long 2. Military to Travel Industry Transition Inspired by her mother’s hospitality business in Jamaica. Military experience provided skills in logistics, planning, and resilience. Desire for flexibility and family time motivated her to pursue entrepreneurship. “Why do I want to keep punching the clock? … Why not do something that I love?” – Andelita Long 3. Representation & Empowerment Noted the lack of Black professionals in the travel industry. Advocates for creating space and visibility for African Americans in travel leadership. “If the table isn't big enough for us to fit there, we don't have to make our own table.” – Andelita Long 4. Veteran Travel Benefits Norwegian Cruise Line: Offers 10% discount for veterans. Margaritaville Cruise Line: Provides one free 3-night cruise per year for veterans. Long helps veterans access and maximize these benefits. “Margaritaville gives each veteran once a year a three-night free cruise. No cost to you.” – Andelita Long 5. Specialty Cruises & Community Promotes culturally rich cruises like “Grown & Sexy” charters focused on Black culture and entertainment. Encourages first-time cruisers and singles to explore group travel experiences. “It’s full of Black people. We got Black entertainers. Everything on there—it’s all about Black history, Black culture, Black power.” – Andelita Long 📞 Contact Information Website: mydreamvacationtravel.com Phone: (478) 334-0177 Email: [email protected] #AMI #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
