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.

As promised, today I have a big announcement to share. Just 15 months ago, I set a goal. I had no idea how I would reach the goal, but with great support, determination, hard work + a little luck, I'm one step closer to where I NEED to be.

It's my birthday!!! And my first podcast of the new year. There's layers to being an Expat.

Working from home has been great for some, not so ideal for others. Abroad in Taiwan, culturally, the office remained a mainstay in regards to how work gets done, even through the pandemic. In the US, it's been quite different and a huge adjustment. We discuss this and more this morning on The Black Expat Podcast.

We dread it. We live it. We overcome it. The job search. It's tough, it's lengthy, it's sometimes fun - yet still exhausting. This morning on The Black Expat Podcast, we talk about the difference in being unemployed and the job search abroad vs. home.
