Quia S. Querisma

Quia is a New York City native who found a familiar solace in the fashion and culture explosion Dallas experienced in the early 2000s. As a student at Southern Methodist University, she discovered that she could shop, eat, travel and go to events and people would  pay for the same kind observations that she’d post on her blog.  For seven years she gave visitors the inside scoop on Dallas shopping and culture at Where Traveler and served as the managing editor of SoulTrain.com from its launch in 2009 until 2011. Since then, Quia has been a contributing writer for a number of publications including Forbes Travel Guide, Huffpost, Dallas Observer, The Culture Trip, Oyster.com, AT&T the Bridge, and Ebony.com.
