@melissarosecooper: Senegal was the first country I ever traveled to alone. I didn’t know anyone. I barely spoke French. I didn’t know a single word of Wolof. I had never even met anyone from Senegal. But I said yes to a semester abroad. There were so many moments where I felt completely out of place — unsure, overwhelmed, questioning everything. But it turned into one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Now? I’m back. And people are asking me to help translate. To explain things. To show them around. The version of me who showed up back then wouldn’t believe how I move here now. #senegal #travel #africa #melissarosecooper #runawaywithmel #travelnoire #blackgirltiktok
