CHOOSING CHILDFREE

LaShundra Thomas: Why More Black Women Should Consider Being Childfree

Let us introduce you to the fabulous LaShundra, affectionately known as LT, a vibrant 38-year-old woman who’s proudly embracing the childfree lifestyle.

Hailing from sunny Florida, LaShundra’s journey to discovering the beauty of childfreedom began at a young age when she witnessed the challenges and struggles faced by teen parents in her community. Determined to carve out her own path in life, she made a conscious decision early on that parenthood wasn’t for her.

In our article, LaShundra highlights several compelling reasons she believes more black women should consider being childfree.

TRAVEL

Childfree Travel List: We’re keeping an ever-growing collection of childfree trips on the CHYLDFREE website. Whether you crave quick domestic getaways, luxurious cruises, or adventurous international journeys, there's an escape waiting for everyone who seeks connection without kids in tow.

Private Jet Villa: We saw this luxury villa — in a plane! — on top of the Nyang Nyang Beach Cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean in Bali and thought of you.

Revisit Your Childhood: Plan an all-inclusive weekend at Camp No Counselors in New York. Put away your phone, free yourself from the stresses of adult life, and escape to adult camp with classic camp activities and nightly theme parties.

Wanderlust: For $1500, grab a new monthly pass that covers your rent and unlimited flights. The Nomad Pass, from Frontier Airlines and Landing, lets you live and work from almost any city.

Path of Totality: On April 8, Delta Airlines is offering a special flight to view the solar eclipse. Hope on the flight from Austin to Detroit for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
