#3 - Vocal about travelling while black and brown
What it's like to travel and live abroad as a woman of color? Do we enjoy travelling alone? How do we feel about living alone for the first time? In this third episode we discuss our love for travelling, the impact of our skin color on how people abroad perceive us and how much we cherish personal freedom and the coocoon kingdoms we created for ourselves in the heart of European capital.
We celebrate great Women of color today:
