In this episode of Flourish In The Foreign, Jackie, a 41-year-old serial digital nomad and slowmad living in San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala, shares her journey of living abroad. She left home to live abroad for the first time at the age of 16. She grew up with an international and diverse background, with an African-American mother and Nigerian father, and was exposed to travel and different cultures from a young age. She went to Germany for a year through a program partially funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag. She had an amazing experience learning German and traveling around Europe. This experience convinced her that she wanted to spend more of her life abroad and that her race didn't just define her life. She then went to Spelman, a historically Black College, and continued to live and travel abroad.

In this episode of Flourish In The Foreign, Amanda Bates, is the founder of "The Black Expat" a website and resource for Black people living and thriving abroad. She is a third-culture kid who grew up in multiple places.

She also mentions how common it is for first and second-generation African and Caribbean immigrants to come to the US for a better life and education and then want to go back to their home country to contribute to its development. Amanda also talks about how moving back to Cameroon at the age of 10 with her parents was difficult for her, as it was a big change and how living in the US can be hard for immigrants who are away from their family, culture, and what they know.

About Flourish In The Foreign | Black Women Living & Thriving Abroad
From the publisher's feed
Launched in 2020, Flourish in the Foreign is an award-winning oral history podcast at the intersection of…
migration, Blackness, womanhood, wellness, and liberation. Each episode documents the lives of Black women who have chosen to leave their home countries and build lives of intention, depth, and self-determination abroad.
Host Christine Job, J.D., is a cultural theorist and embedded oral historian living the story she documents. Over 150 episodes, she has built one of the most substantive qualitative archives on Black women's voluntary migration. These conversations span Colombia, Portugal, Ghana, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean, and beyond, with women navigating the real terrain of expatriation: identity, belonging, financial independence, health, relationships, and what it actually means to thrive outside their native cultural context.
Flourish in the Foreign sits at a specific and necessary intersection: the scholarly and the intimate, the structural and the personal, the political and the deeply human. It asks not just whether Black women can flourish abroad, but what it means that so many are choosing to try. And what that departure reveals about their motivations, expectations, and realities.
This is not a travel podcast. It is a living archive of Black women's migration journeys, told in their own voices, hosted by a researcher who understands that oral storytelling is diasporic technology — a tool for cultural preservation, truth-telling, and narrative authority.
