"Jamillah is incredibly thorough and always delivers first-class results"
She is tenacious at finding the best options, even when dealing with airline challenges, and always prioritized first-class accommodations that aligned with our needs. What stood out most was her care: she considered each traveler individually and stayed available throughout the trip, even in the middle of the night, to make sure everything went smoothly. Over the past 10 years, Jamillah has consistently delivered thoughtful, first-class travel experiences

The Slate & Way Signature Partnership
That’s where we step in.
If travel planning feels like one more responsibility, the Signature Partnership offers structure, clarity, and ongoing support so you can stay connected to what matters without the overwhelm.
We begin with your Year of Presence Plan™. A personalized roadmap aligned with your calendar, values, and life rhythms. From there, we quietly plan every detail with intention.
Guided by our PACE Method™, each escape is designed around what matters most to you. From thoughtfully timed getaways to meaningful milestones and celebrations, every experience is fully planned and calmly managed, start to finish.
Whether it’s a quiet reset, a multigenerational celebration, or a seamless trip between busy seasons, you’ll never have to wonder what’s next or worry about what you’ve missed.
With Slate & Way, travel becomes a steady rhythm of reconnection, not another task on your to-do list.

Signature Personal Escapes
By Invitation Only
- Personal introductions and trusted referrals
- Those exploring the idea of a year-long travel partnership

Each escape is planned with the same care, clarity, and intention as the Signature Partnership. Many who begin here later find themselves ready for the structured rhythm of a year with Slate & Way.
For select invitations only.
If you’d like to explore a one-time experience, let’s connect.
While limited in number, Signature Personal Escapes are a glimpse of what’s possible when your travels are designed with intention and care..
For those seeking a deeper rhythm, the Signature Partnership offers year-round support.
While the Signature Partnership is the heart of Slate & Way, occasionally we open the door to individual escapes .
Crafted with the same care, but designed for one meaningful moment rather than a full year.
Included With Every Escape
Included With Every Escape
Every time you step away — whether it’s one unforgettable trip or part of your curated year of travel — you receive more than an itinerary. With Slate & Way, each escape is designed as part of a greater rhythm: calm, intentional, and deeply personal.
Every escape becomes part of a greater story — keeping you connected, calm, and fully present wherever the year takes you.
- A personalized alignment session before each trip to honor your needs, values, and seasonal timing
- Custom itinerary design with destinations, experiences, and pacing aligned to your lifestyle
- Seamless coordination with trusted partners: private villas, luxury resorts, and vetted local teams
- End-to-end logistics, from private transfers to exclusive reservations and curated excursions
- Thoughtful touches for milestones, memory-making, and quiet delight along the way
- White-glove support throughout your travels — so if plans shift, you’re never navigating alone
- Pre and post-trip touchpoints: for peace of mind before you leave, and space to reflect and refine when you return
The Year of Presence Plan™
- Presence — listening deeply to your season of life and what matters most right now
- Alignment — anchoring your travel rhythm to your calendar and goals
- Clarity — mapping your year with intentional milestones and escapes
- Ease — handling every detail so your travel flows with calm precision
Together, we map your calendar and anchor your travel rhythm — curating destinations, pacing, and purpose around your lifestyle and goals.
Your personalized travel roadmap for the year ahead — designed to keep you aligned, intentional, and at ease.
Instead of booking trips one by one, we begin by creating your Year of Presence Plan™ — a strategic calendar of escapes designed around your lifestyle, values, and rhythms.
It’s more than a schedule. It’s a clear, personalized roadmap for the year ahead, showing you when to pause, where to go, and how to travel in a way that supports your bigger picture.
With your Year of Presence Plan™, travel becomes less reactive and more restorative. You’ll know what’s ahead, feel confident it’s taken care of, and move through the year with clarity and calm.

“She made every decision easy and brought so much clarity to the process.”
Jamillah’s knowledge and guidance are second to none. She helped me map out a complete strategy and planned every detail with care. I would have been completely lost without her specialized expertise. She brought fantastic insider insight, helped us stay on budget, and made thoughtful recommendations. Her communication, attention to detail, and professionalism stood out from day one. Jamillah is a true asset and will not let you down.
— Pete Middleton
Jamillah, you are truly the best!
Your attention to detail and your heart for crafting unique experiences tailored to our needs mean the world to us. I’m forever grateful to have your expertise, care, and guidance as my go-to for travel. Thank you for all you do and all you are. We can’t wait for our next trip!

“Jamillah has planned amazing trips for us for almost 10 years.”
I could give 50 reasons to let Jamillah handle your special travel. Once she understands what matters most to you, your team, or your family, she’ll always find the perfect location. She's a master of the details; critical for trips of any size. And she’s always there throughout the experience if anything is needed. Jamillah has planned both personal and corporate travel for us with exceptional care.
I can’t give her a high enough review.

Let's Design your Year
The life you’re building deserves moments like these.
Designed with Intention. Planned with Presence.
Slate & Way is a lifestyle travel design company for leaders, families, and full lives craving calm, clarity, and beautifully handled escapes.
After 15+ years designing intimate gatherings and bespoke travel experiences for professionals, founders, couples, and families navigating full lives, I’ve seen how easily the joy of travel gets buried under logistics and decision fatigue.
Along the way, I saw what was missing in the travel space. Not just planning, but partnership.
That’s why I created the Signature Partnership. A long-term, strategic approach to travel for people whose lives are already full.
Through our PACE Method™, we build your Year of Presence Plan™, then handle everything from multigenerational celebrations to quiet resets with care and precision.
Whether you're planning one unforgettable escape or a curated year of meaningful travel, every detail is handled with intention.
I split my time between California and the Caribbean, and I bring that rhythm of stillness + connection into every plan I create.
If you’re looking for more than a travel agent, someone to align your escapes with your lifestyle, I’d love to connect.
With the right partner, travel becomes more than time away. It becomes a rhythm of rest, reconnection, and renewal.
Behind Slate & Way is a calm, strategic partner guiding your travel lifestyle with care, clarity, and precision.
Still deciding?
Travel is personal. So is partnership. Whether you’re ready to map out your year or simply want to explore what’s possible, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and ease. Let’s see if Slate & Way is the right fit for this season of your life.
