    I have watched hundreds of van life videos I have never commented on a single one. But yours I feel almost compelled to comment. I LOVE your build. I love your spirit. Your healing journey inspires me. I know I need to embark in my own but being a black woman, I’m apprehensive to start on the rd. Because I do wonder about my safety. And then there is money. But mostly safety. I want to boon-dock in nature and just experience all it has to offer. And I don’t know of anyone to help me do a build. But seeing your journey makes me smile. I’m so happy for you. I hope that I can hit the road and find my healing sooner than later. 🥰

      Hi I'm Betty.
      I had and still have your same concerns, ( 💰 and 🚔 ). I prayed, joined two groups (AARVC-BWWRV) and after retirement I travel a lot with the groups to events nearby, safe, good people I trust, meet new friends and have fun w/o any problems.

      Hi, beautiful!
      I know exactly how you feel.
      I have lots of safety precautions, and I wrote an ebook about safety for Black women. However, the 1st thing you have to reclaim is your birthright to be anywhere you desire to be AND know that you will be safe no matter what.
      The biggest safety precautions I rely on are my intuition and situational awareness. Trust me, these are the most powerful safety measures to implement.
      I'm happy to reach out to my builder, but know that many people have no-build vans, and it works just fine.
      Please feel free to reach out to me and if my co-builder is OK with me sharing his info, I will.

      ❤Love, love, love your van & your spirit! I was so touched by your beautiful words on healing. I’ve wanted to go on the road since my only child was murdered & thrown in a garbage alley 8 yrs ago. I ran out of fear just after she was found and lost everything at 55. I am so inspired by your story.
      Bountiful blessings & happiest of travels!🕊🙏🏻🕊

      ❤ I am a 67yr old widow. Any advice on how to find an honest person that does the van conversions? I’m not rich. I’m on west coast. I don’t have a lot of mechanical knowledge. ( my two adult children & son n law live in my house.) I’d love to find a way to travel like this. I have tent & rv camped with husband in the past. I now travel solo, cruise & land. I very much admire you and your spirit. ❤🙏🏻

    That's a blessing that Tracy's husband is supportive of her traveling on her own. Wow that's nice her husband accepts her van life! I'm not mad or jealous, keep traveling and enjoy van life! Your children are grown, enjoy your life! We only live once, enjoy what you do! Happy more travels Tracy!

    What an amazing build! So much creative problem-solving went into packing so much into such a small space. It’s functional & stylish, and it really expresses her personality. I love how upbeat, happy & positive she is, and that she named her van after the late, great Nina Simone.
    This is probably one of the best segments I’ve ever seen: the tour of her amazing van is great, but the parts where she talks about the independence, resilience and emotional & spiritual healing that working on her van and traveling solo has given her is really uplifting & inspiring. All the best to you on your ‘van life’ adventures, ma’am and I hope to cross paths with you someday!
