So when the satirical fanny pack was rebranded as a stylish belt bag, I was beyond skeptical. Two years ago, I tried Dagne Dover’s Ace Fanny Pack for T+L’s fanny pack test, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I wore it during a four-week trip.

While we aren’t complaining about the increasing ability to work from anywhere, it means that we have to be extra diligent about protecting our precious and very delicate computers. That’s where a good laptop case or laptop sleeve comes in, which I find especially important when traveling with a bag that doesn’t have a dedicated laptop compartment.

Credit: Travel + Leisure One thing about me: I'm obsessed with Apple AirTags. They’re hands down the most reliable luggage tracker I’ve used. I have one looped, strapped, or stuck onto all of my family's checked and carry-on luggage pieces — not to mention my travel wallet, passport, cat’s collar, remote controls, and more. An AirTag once helped me track a lost bag from Miami after I arrived back home in Los Angeles in the middle of the night.

Photo: Travel + Leisure I will never forget my very first encounter with softside luggage: it was a fire engine red and seriously unstylish luggage set that my mom bought me as a high school graduation gift (to this day, we joke that it was her not-so-subtle hint to leave the nest.) The suitcases had wobbly handles that frequently jammed, two wheels instead of four, and stitching that gradually unraveled after years of my relentless overpacking.

For many Black women, spirituality and religion are anchors for their lives. Studies show they are some of the most devoutly religious folks in the U.S., and that is beneficial in unexpected ways. One study by the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that Black women who use spirituality as a coping mechanism are less likely to develop hypertension. Generally speaking, however, Black women are not nearly represented as much in the pulpits as they are in the pews. Slowly but surely, that is changing.
