What if redefining your life could be as simple as relocating to a new country?
Besties Leslie and Angella provide an update on the motivations and experiences that have led them to consider moving abroad. Leslie recalls her eye-opening trip to Costa Rica, offering insights into the expat lifestyle and the profound differences between being a tourist and a resident. They consider critical aspects like healthcare, community structure, and government priorities, contrasted by the particular challenges of being Black in America.
Angella dives into the conversation with an update on a North Carolina chapter of the ExodUS Summit group, underscoring their collective longing for a better quality of life outside of the United States. She reflects on their African origins and the idea of exploring countries like Liberia, which holds a rich historical significance for people of African descent. Personal anecdotes from their travels to Ghana and Mexico City serve to challenge and shatter common misconceptions about African and Latin American nations.
Join them for a conversation that promises to inspire and provoke thoughtful consideration of a life beyond familiar borders.
