Meet Cassandra Washington

In the 1990s I drew a Black woman superhero. Then I went and lived like one.

I created the indie comic Sustah-Girl: Queen of the Black Age, spent a career as an educator and speaker, became a certified life coach and WITT wellness professional, beat breast cancer, came back from a detached retina, and kept my passport busy: 40 countries on 6 continents, most of them solo, all of them after 50.

This site is the travel planner, the wellness check-in, and the sisterhood I wish I’d had when I started. Usually packing.
