EP 65: David Thornton | Locker 37 | Case Closed

SHOW NOTES:

In memory of my dear friend David Thornton, I share this episode with a heart filled with sadness and joy. The essence of my sadness grieves deeply for a fallen EDPat while the essence of my joy beams peace for having created such a beautiful time capsule.

At the time we recorded this episode, my intuition made it very clear that it was too early to publish. It was 2020 and there was so much going on for David that I was led to simply file the content and leave it be. When I recently heard of his transition, I decided to search for the episode and listen to it again.

It's only now that I feel absolute peace sharing this story that he graciously shared with me years ago.  It manifests today as a type of audio archive to share his humor, his laugh, and his charisma, all of which explain why he was loved by so many.

Welcome to the grand finale of Season 4. As we wrap up this conversation, exploring relationships abroad. I have a personal story to share with you, a story that weaves together the threads of my identity as a transnational commuter and one that gives detail about the generational expatriation blood flowing through my veins. 

In Celebration of my grandfather's 85th birthday, I decided to stroll down memory lane to talk with him about his experience overseas. Our conversation reveals the untold story of his relationship in Spain, which was an enchanting tale that perfectly encapsulates the theme of the season relationships abroad. 

As we bid farewell to Season 4, I invite you to join me on this final episode, a heartfelt tribute to my grandfather and the profound impact of his relationship, formed across borders and essentially resulting in my coming into the world. It's a journey filled with cherished memories and heartfelt connections.

For those of you who’ve been rocking with (A)Broad in Education for a while, you vividly remember Episode 43, A Romance Scam from Abroad. It was such a pivotal life experience that I shared the story publicly, even in an article with Travel Noire. Part of that experience was connecting with other women about their relationships abroad and I mentioned before that the previous episodes were recorded in 2021. 

Well, it’s been three years post-scam, and two years post-recording, so I decided to reach out to Nicole @thesoulfulexpat for a semi-quick check in to discuss how things have changed about relationships abroad, how they’ve remained the same, and even evolved. 

Her idea about showing up for ourselves and learning to become our own relationship gurus is golden and you’ll definitely appreciate it listening about it in this conversation.

Welcome to the first episode of Relationships (A)Broad. It's a series where I take you through individual stories from Black women who transnationalized their relationships while transforming their understanding of what it means to love and be loved.

This week I'm joined by Carolyn van es Vines, author of the book Black and (A)broad: Traveling Beyond the Limitations of Identity. In this episode, Carolyn and I discuss her book and the complexity of her decision to migrate to the Netherlands with her Dutch boyfriend, now husband, Vince.  At the crux of this episode, Carolyn expresses the need for Black women to travel the world in order to process and unpack their identities to (re)imagine what it means to be a strong Black woman.   

Carolyn is an intercultural expert who believes in the power of journaling and declares that "Journaling slows us down so that we can start paying attention to how we're feeling, eventually without judging either the feeling or ourselves." If you want to engage in an "effective way to practice mindfulness," join Carolyn at her virtual Journal With Me  session on September 11, 2021 at 8am CST. You can register here if you're interested! I'll be there!

Hey, Everybody! Welcome back to (A)Broad in Education!

I've been on a long hiatus while completing my dissertation, but I'm finally back with another amazing season! In Season 4, I'm focusing on relationships abroad! It's a topic that seems to pique the interest of so many who aspire to know what it's really like living abroad. I bring forward the voices of eight Black American women who share their stories about internationalizing their marriages, ridding themselves of excess relational baggage, and even the baecation that turned into a staycation!

This is definitely a season you don't want to miss!
