VISIT FORT WORTH
FORT WORTH MUSEUM OF SCIENCE & HISTORY
Soul of DFW’s mission is to educate the community on the significance of Black culture through cuisine and local history.
Founder and Chief Historical Guide Deah Berry Mitchell curates tours that allows guests to visit historical landmarks and learn about the contributions of the Dallas and Fort Worth metro area via cuisine and history.
There are designated stops at Black-owned restaurants for tastings of a selected menu item.
Attendees are able to take in the sites stress-free from the comfort of a chauffeured, air-conditioned bus.
Our exclusive tours are the perfect way to engage ALL employees in diversity appreciation OR educate students and faculty in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.
I'm a fulltime Black culture historian and writer residing in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.
A double graduate of Southern Methodist University, I enjoy traveling and immersing myself into other cultures. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. in history at the University of North Texas.
While vacationing in 2017, I had the idea to produce a bus tour that would combine my two passions: cuisine and local cultural history.
When I got back, I suggested to my friend and public relations manager, Dalila Thomas, that we partner together to produce this new concept.
In February 2018 we officially launched!
I relaunched the new and improved tours in April 2022 after pandemic restrictions were eased under my newly formed "umbrella" company - Nostalgia Black. Tourism is one of the services offered to amplify Black history and increase knowledge of cultural heritage and traditions. Currently pursuing my PhD in History, I am passionate about expanding our knowledge of local Black history.
I'm planning to expand into other test markets soon.
Pick up a copy of my book published in early 2019,
“Cornbread & Collard Greens: How West African Cuisine and Slavery Influenced Soul Food”!
