do y'all brehs ever travel to expand your cultural capital? not specifically directed at you op but just seems like when brehs travel, especially to traditional "black" destinations, it's for p*ssy, beaches, entertainment, and maybe food. seems like a trip like this, especially with your girl, could've be an opportunity for cultural immersion - becoming versed around afro-brazilians and their fight for civil rights and societal contributions (not just typical favela tours), doing a latin jazz tour, taking samba and capoeira lessons, day tripping or hiking the amazon and learning about the local biome, learning about conservation efforts, volunteering with a conservation org, taking part in a umbanda or candomblé ceremony or supporting an afro-brazilian artist in residence at a gallery or studio. all this would just be surface level shyt not anything really niche. like if you were a coffee aficionado and wanted to visit a brazilian coffee farm to see the production process first hand. this is how cultural capital is built brehs and is a currency that increases your social position. imagine later in life running into a non-assuming brazilian breh at the airport and it turns out he's the son of the president. y'all get to chopping it up for a lil bit and he ask you if you've been to brazil and your eyes light up and say you have but all you have to show for it is ass and beaches. when, if you would've taken more of an interest in the places you travel, you could've gotten your jared kushner on and parlayed that encounter into a deeper relationship or possible business opportunity.
