Career burnout, financial hardship, a rough breakup… sometimes we just need a major shift in the energy around us.  But what does that mean to you? Is it a new hairstyle, a new job, a new partner? What about picking up and moving across the world?

Today, I’m chatting with Imani Bashir, a journalist, expat, entrepreneur, and boy mama. She works toward empowering marginalized people and creating content that shifts culture.

Tune in and listen to episode 55 of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Imani and I talk about the history of enslaved African Muslims in the US, her amazing experience living in Wuhan, China, and raising our children to be in love with their beautiful brown skin.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Where Imani was in her life when she decided to move abroad (01:37)
• A little about Imani’s background as a Black Muslim (06:24)
• The transcontinental journey that brought Imani to Mexico (14:39)
• Sandra Bland’s murder was one of Imani’s biggest reasons for leaving the states (21:36)
• How Imani’s son’s confidence has shaped his relationship with his peers and his environment (28:54)
