Get Anthony Antoine to 100th Country

---

Anthony Antoine, performance poet, independent recording artist, activist, and unapologetic Black LGBTQ+ travel storyteller. You may know me from my emotionally rich concert clips, my poetry albums, or maybe even from TikTok videos of the Ultimate World Cruise, where I joined thousands of global travelers on a journey across the seas.

Now, I’m preparing for something deeply personal: My 100th country. This December, I’ll be touching down in Nigeria — a place that has long lived in my heart — to honor not only a milestone in miles, but a milestone in healing, legacy, and community.

This is more than just another stamp in a passport. For me, travel has always been about grief, growth, and gratitude. It’s how I turned loss into art. How I found community in unfamiliar lands. And how I reclaimed the right to take up space as a Black, queer man from the U.S. South — loudly, softly, and on my own terms.

Visiting my 100th country isn’t just a personal victory. It’s a way to:

• Celebrate Black global travelers and our visibility
• Offer inspiration through storytelling, poetry, and live footage
• Deepen my creative work for future releases (books, performances, and more)
• Connect with local artisans and cultural archives to honor the diaspora
• Share the joy, challenges, and beauty of this journey with you
   

I’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $10,000 to cover airfare, accommodations, documentation, and creative production for this milestone trip. Every donation helps — whether it’s $1 or $5,000. And every supporter becomes part of the journey.

Anthony Antoine
