Kellee Edwards is an avid traveler, licensed pilot, and advanced open water scuba diver. In 2017, she became the first solo Black woman to host a travel series “Mysterious Islands” for the Travel Channel. Mysterious Islands is a travel series that explores some of the most remote islands in the world that the general population has probably never even heard of. This feat earned her the distinction of becoming the first Black woman to host a show on the network. She also co-hosted the channel’s The Trip 2018.
