Today’s Topic: Exploring Freedom Abroad

The recent election has stirred deep emotions among Black women—sparking reflections about belonging, safety, and opportunity. This growing movement of Black women seeking freedom and fulfillment abroad is not just a trend—it’s a powerful statement about reclaiming agency and designing a life aligned with our values.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. Reflecting on the Shift

Post-election realities have been a wake-up call for many. The 92% of Black women who showed up, did their part. Now, many are asking, What’s next for me? A growing number are choosing to shift focus inward, prioritize self-care, and explore new possibilities.

2. Why Move Abroad?

From Mexico’s vibrant diasporic communities to Costa Rica’s tranquil retreats, life abroad offers:

• A chance to design a life aligned with personal values and goals.

• Safety, freedom, and empowerment in new environments.

• Better quality of life—where edges thrive, skin glows, and peace is abundant.

3. Examples of Thriving Abroad

Black women are finding joy in spaces where they are celebrated, not tolerated. Communities abroad are full of opportunities for connection, empowerment, and growth.

4. How to Start Your Journey

• Research Destinations: Consider what aligns with your goals—be it vibrant cities or quiet retreats.

• Plan Strategically: Start with a roadmap (I can help with this through the Goal Accomplishment Made Easy program).

• Build Community: Join groups like Exodus Summit to connect with other Black women exploring similar paths.

Why This Matters

This shift isn’t just about leaving—it’s about creating a life where you can thrive unapologetically. It’s about liberation, self-care, and stepping into spaces that honor your worth.

So, whether you’re considering life abroad or simply seeking freedom in new forms, remember: You deserve a life aligned with your values.
