Fly Guys: Team Jones
Soul Society: Thanks for speaking with us today! Where do your currently reside and what do you do for a living? D Jones: Thanks for taking the time. I live in the District of Columbia (DC).

I got here by-way of the Marine Corps. After being stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina fo

FLY GUYS: Olatokunbo Okuwobi AKA TOKITONEGRITO
23 year old Olatokunbo Okuwobi AKA Toks AKA TokitoNegrito if our Fly Guy of the week. At such a young age, Toks has put many of us (yes, including me) to shame with his travel.

FLY GUYS: TIMMYGOTSOUL
If you follow Soul Society 101 on Instagram then you are no stranger to Detroit-native Tim AKA @timmygotsoul's travel photos. He is a frequest post for us, not out of favor, not because his name is Timmy Got Soul (although that's has a great ring to it), but because he has mastered the art of seeing the world and taking dope photos while doing so. The combination, though encouragingly more common because of the Black Travel craze on the internets lately, is still rare, especi
