Trell Thomas: From Sunday Dinners to Global Tables: Celebrating Black Excellence Around the World
In this inspiring episode of the World of Travel Podcast, Lindsey and Kolyn sit down with Trell Thomas, founder of the Black Excellence Brunch, to explore how culture, intention, and travel can turn a personal tradition into a global movement.
Raised in Cassatt, South Carolina, Trell reflects on the values passed down from his family and how Sunday dinners at his mother’s home became the blueprint for creating spaces that celebrate Black brilliance. What started as a single gathering grew into the Black Excellence Brunch, now recognized on international stages and even at the White House , all fueled by Trell’s decision to bet on himself.
The conversation travels across the globe, from Trell’s first transformative trip to Ghana to a spontaneous solo birthday journey to London that reshaped his confidence, independence, and sense of identity. Along the way, Trell shares unforgettable moments, including an unexpected encounter at a Thailand elephant sanctuary and thoughtful reflections on ethical tourism, solo travel, and slowing down to connect more deeply with people and place.
This episode is about legacy, self-investment, and honoring Black excellence everywhere in the world.
Let’s get into it.
