Now that we know who will occupy the White House for the next four years, the interest in emigrating from the US has skyrocketed.

According to Reuters, Google searches for “move to Canada” surged 1,270% in the 24 hours after the polls closed on the East Coast Tuesday.

Similar searches about moving to New Zealand climbed nearly 2,000% while those for Australia jumped 820%.

And a former guest on Our Voices Matter has received so many inquiries for help about navigating the emigration process, she’s planning a LinkedIn Live event to answer them all.

Elizabeth Silleck LaRue and her husband emigrated from the US to Mexico in late 2022.

She is white. He is Black.

They were tired of feeling unwelcome in their own country, so they left in search of peace and autonomy.

The transition was not easy, but they have never regretted their decision. Especially now.

If you’re thinking of leaving the US to live in another country and want to know what it’s like, you might consider joining Liz’s LinkedIn Live this Monday, November 11th at 1pm CST.

In the meantime, take a moment to watch or listen to her story.

It’s one you won’t forget.
