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.

Living abroad comes with it's challenges. While finding a job and making a living are the primary concerns there are several other elements, like dating and making friends, that have an affect on how long people last in a new country. For me, I had to learn to separate my work life from my personal life. As easy as it sounds, it's quite the challenge when working with people who struggled to find food let alone a local watering hole. This episode discusses these challenges and more.

Taiwan provided me with a lot of first. After a successful first year as manager I was able to expand my network to a very diverse group of people who would guarantee an adventure every time we went out. In addition, another brown person joined me in Taiwan which opened the door to a plethora of opportunity both at work and beyond. Too many absinthe shots, giant spiders, camel rides, and not enough time led to adventures and stories that will last a lifetime.
