Storytelling is how we shift narratives about Black communities throughout the Diaspora. Courtney Bowden of Black Expat Stories shares why storytelling and community building has been instrumental to her journey of living abroad in Mexico. We go in about our shared passion for amplifying marginalized voices, the role of community and mutual aid in the Black expat experience, and the impact of political climate on personal decisions to relocate. Courtney shares her insights on the cultural dynamics in Mexico and her hope for a new era of  progress in addressing social issues with nuance and care.
