The Black Expat Podcast aims to highlight the ups and downs of the expat experience. It touches on travel, current events, jobs, friendships, family, mental health and the overall expat experience. The goal is not only to provide others with information that I wasn't able to gain before my experiences, but also provide a space for expats worldwide to have their voices, stories, and experiences shared. We as people have far more in common than we think. Through interviews with other expats and people all over the world, I've learned of the many paths that may take when deciding whether or not to become expats. My hope is that The Black Expat Podcast reaches those seeking interesting stories and perspectives, good laughs, and information and knowledge presented in an entertaining way.

The United States elections are underway. There's so much uncertainty, not just with elections, but with many things around the world. In this episode I touch on this uncertainty, but also the growth that comes with it. As an expat it's tough being far away from family, not knowing when you can make it home, or what the world will look like not only post presidential election but post COVID. Heavy things like this are best processed out loud, and together. As The Black Expat, I'm honored to process with you.

The journey to 100 episodes has been more than an honor. I've interviewed amazing people from all walks of life and from all over the globe. I've had amazing podcasts, and some not so great ones (let's keep it real). This episode is special. It's dedicated to everyone who's taken time out of their lives to listen to my podcast, be a part of my journey, or share their lives and perspectives with me on my podcast.
I'm truly fortunate to have been able to have my siblings and mother join me for this podcast episode. Without them, I would not be where I am today. My younger sisters journey as a black woman thriving through grad school, then moving to another part of the country on her own as a phenomenal black woman is one I was very excited to share. We also dive into what's it like growing up with an expat as a sibling and the impact it has on family.
100 episodes in, and so many more to go. Always Forward.
