200-DAY JOURNAL
What started as a 200-day destination wedding countdown, has blossomed into what we now know as DESTI BRIDEFRIEND NATION! Created out of her own need for information and to fill the massive gap in destination wedding diversity, Omi blogged for 200 days in a row detailing her DESTI journey as a woman of color to highlight and pave the way for thousands more! To this day she is still known as BlackDesti — and loves every second of it!
