(A)Broad in Education

In this episode, Tiffany Lachelle compiles a short compilation of the 19 episodes within season 2. As she prepares to conduct data collection for her dissertation study in the United Arab Emirates, which focuses on African American expatriate educational professionals in the UAE, she reflects on the notion of remembering and how each of these episodes, in completely different ways, support this notion of taking time to reflect on the lived experience.

SHOW NOTES:
Six degrees of separation has nothing on the conversation between Whitney and I. We met over Facebook from a post where I inquired about African American EDpats living in the UAE. While conversing, I asked, “Do you know this person”… “Yes, we went to the same HBCU and had the same professor.” “Do you know this person?” “Yes, and a few people that I attended school with also live and work here in Dubai.” I left this episode with the following thought: The deeper you go into the unfamiliar, the more familiar things become. Whether people, places, customs, or traditions, through travel, you can always find pieces of yourself around the globe.

The first question that many Black women ask before traveling or moving abroad is, “what hair care products will I need to bring with me?” In this solo mini-episode, Tiffany mentally travels back to Morocco to reflect on the complexity of taking care of her hair while abroad. While Tiffany was prepared with hair-care products, she found herself unprepared for the change of environment. After a self-diagnosis of scalp psoriasis, she had no choice but to get a little creative in order to overcome her hair issues abroad.
