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.
