Living Abroad as a Black Woman: Finding the Freedom to Thrive

About this session

When I left the U.S. to move to Spain 6 years ago, I had no idea the impact that it would have... not only on my life but on the lives of other Black women around the world and for generations to come. Living abroad as a Black woman has taught me so much about myself, my history, my future, and the impact that it can have for those to come after me. When we learn how to rewrite our stories, on our own terms... that's when real change happens.

In this chat, I'll share with you...

  • The impact that living in a different country has on life and those to come
  • How to find professional opportunities abroad and build personal relationships
  • Why freedom and flexibility are the keys to coping with racial injustice
