Nelson George, Travel Expert-at-Large, takes visitors to some of the most diverse and interesting places across the globe and highlights the uniquely black travel experience.

The LEFT UNSAID series explores a group of women who engage with social media. The story is broken up into discreet chapters where various groups of guests, often in two's, find a spot in Marisol's garden apartment to meet and chat. They are usually armed just with the information they gleamed from Facebook about their companions. As they dig deeper they learn from each other, are irritated by what they hear, and have their sense of certainty challenged. While technology drives much of the talk, it is often buried within conversations about motherhood, race, class, gentrification, music, and, of course, love & sex.

A companion piece to his 2004 book, Post-Soul Nation, author (and Voice contributor) Nelson George's documentary Smart Black People reunites some of the subjects of a generation-defining photograph to document the impact of the "New Black Aesthetic" that arose in the 1980s in arts, criticism, and entrepreneurship.
