In this episode of “Your Best Shot Travel” we take a deep dive into the growing trend of Black Americans moving abroad, often referred to as "Blaxit", (black exit) driven by factors like systemic racism, political volatility, and the search for a better quality of life outside of the United States. Our sources explore various popular destinations for Black expats, including Ghana, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Indonesia (Bali), and Germany, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with each location.
