  <title>C L Reed (under-represented hosts series)</title>
  <description>C L Reed is one of the many hosts of color and an entrepreneur who has expanded from her first room rental to now hosting her own 3 properties and co-hosting several other Airbnbs.&amp;amp;nbsp; She shares with Debi how she initially got started via her daughter's prodding.&amp;amp;nbsp; C L discovered that her home was exactly in the right spot for skydivers, and she has hosted skydivers from all over the world.&amp;amp;nbsp; She found her niche and works it with professional skill! C L expanded into Facebook, which is how Debi and C L met.&amp;amp;nbsp; See the Links at the end of the show notes to join her Facebook groups.&amp;amp;nbsp; She also published a book: &amp;quot;Short term rental success stories from the edge&amp;quot;, also at the end of the show notes. CL offers that as a Black host, she has not experienced overt prejudice.&amp;amp;nbsp; Her photo is on her Airbnb profile and she believes that if a guest has any issues with her race, they would self-filter and simply not choose her listing.&amp;amp;nbsp; When it comes to traveling, CL pointed out how vulnerable a woman traveling alone can be, and that women of any color must be diligent about their safety.&amp;amp;nbsp; She gives several examples.&amp;amp;nbsp; Add to that being of a minority race, the discussion expands into recognizing a basic inherent fear that Black people live with, of which White people are unaware.&amp;amp;nbsp; We appreciate her woman's perspective which brings additional depth to the conversation.
