Global Mobility and Black Identity with Amanda Bates | TNN53
Being able to move abroad is often a symbol of money and privilege. It can also indicate a degree of freedom, a sign that one need not be constrained to a certain area of the world or lifestyle. There's a growing movement of black travelers choosing location independence, digital nomadism, and remote work abroad. The good news is that entrepreneurship and remote work provide travelers of color the opportunity to build a life, have an income, and feel welcomed in fascinating places that celebrate all people.
Amanda Bates, a career strategist and founder of blackexpat.com, joins our hosts, Andrew Jernigan and Allen Koski in this timely episode of The New Nomad podcast. They talked about the situation today involving people of color and the challenges they encounter on a daily basis. They shared their thoughts on the misconceptions of expats and immigrants, racism outside of the US, and how to travel safely and confidently as a person of color. If you want to live abroad or find a job that can support you from anywhere but don't know where to start, tune in to hear their conversation and listen to top tips for thriving abroad and creating your own remote job online.
