Living Abroad as a Black American

We can talk for days on this subject!

The fact of the matter is that systemic racism has touched many countries and cultures. It’s very hard to avoid it. However, in our experience, we have never experienced the level of discrimination and injustice anywhere abroad as we have in our own country.

So we can honestly say that having the feeling of being able to just live life without having to prove we are worth existing is HUGE!

Most other countries look at where you are from and not what you look like. Most other countries still see people and their values rather than preconceived ideas based on surface appearance. Most other cultures want a quality of life and understand that each one plays a part in contributing to that quality.

Our experiences abroad made us feel more like the spice in a meal, rather than a useless condiment, something not appreciated and easily discarded. Because when people value you for you, you feel it!

We want every Black American to feel it too! Eliminating the weight of systemic racism is absolutely incredible.
