Expat vs. Immigrant: An Open and Honest Discussion

Founder and host of Black Expat Stories, a multimedia ethnography & podcast documenting the global Blaxit movement. Based in Mexico since 2021.

I'm an on-and-off digital nomad who has lived abroad and worked remotely since 2013. I've been in a member of "expat" communities and as a journalist, I've interviewed tons of Black folks from the United States living internationally, and built long-lasting friendships. Excited for this convo!

Be audacious. Be bold. Move abroad unapologetically and navigate spaces and places that weren't curated for you. Learn to be culturally competent and culturally humble and this life will be successful for you.
