    EP 24: Whitney Amanda | Redefining First Generation in Dubai

    EP 24: Whitney Amanda | Redefining First Generation in Dubai

    SHOW NOTES:
    Six degrees of separation has nothing on the conversation between Whitney and I. We met over Facebook from a post where I inquired about African American EDpats living in the UAE. While conversing, I asked, “Do you know this person”… “Yes, we went to the same HBCU and had the same professor.” “Do you know this person?” “Yes, and a few people that I attended school with also live and work here in Dubai.” I left this episode with the following thought: The deeper you go into the unfamiliar, the more familiar things become. Whether people, places, customs, or traditions, through travel, you can always find pieces of yourself around the globe.

    EP 22: I Went to Two Countries to Get my Hair Done | Mini Episode

    EP 22: I Went to Two Countries to Get my Hair Done | Mini Episode

    The first question that many Black women ask before traveling or moving abroad is, “what hair care products will I need to bring with me?” In this solo mini-episode, Tiffany mentally travels back to Morocco to reflect on the complexity of taking care of her hair while abroad. While Tiffany was prepared with hair-care products, she found herself unprepared for the change of environment. After a self-diagnosis of scalp psoriasis, she had no choice but to get a little creative in order to overcome her hair issues abroad.

    EP 21: Jasmine Watson Barr: Educational Capital

    So you’ve heard of soul mates, right? What about virtual soul mates? It wasn’t until the end of our conversation when Jasmine and I pieced together that we were Pisces sisters. The spiritual tune throughout this conversation was surreal. Jasmine, a San Diego native, has a plethora of international experiences inclusive of a medical mission to the Kingdom of Swaziland, studying dance in Brazil, and teaching in South Korea. Her international experiences have come full circle and she currently works in a study abroad center at a university in California. Listen to EDpat Jasmine as she (un)packs her journey in this episode.

    EP 20: #WEGLOBAL | Dr. Deborah Robinson on the African Americans Living Abroad Project

    EP 20: #WEGLOBAL | Dr. Deborah Robinson on the African Americans Living Abroad Project

    In this episode, Dr. Deborah Robinson speaks about her project #WEGLOBAL, which investigates African Americans living abroad. You can access the survey here: https://www.aalivingabroad.org/

    According to the website:
    African Americans have traveled globally and lived abroad for centuries, but only part of their story has been told. There have been ebbs and flows of this voluntary movement, but we are currently witnessing an unprecedented level of travel and expatriation.  While there is a growing literature on Americans abroad and some research on African Americans who lived abroad historically, there is sparse data on African Americans currently living overseas.  There is a need for a comprehensive, scientific study of this unprecedented migration.  In addition, it is important to disseminate the findings from this research in ways that reach a broad audience.  That's where WeGlobal comes in.

    If YOU are an African American currently living abroad, please contribute 15 minutes to completing this survey! Feel free to pass this survey along to other African Americans living abroad as well. It is available until December 2019.

    EP 18: Amanda Bates | The Black Expat

    EP 18: Amanda Bates | The Black Expat

    If one more person mentions Amanda Bates, I’m going to social media stalk her and reach out to her myself… which is exactly what I did for this episode! Amanda is an amazing and intelligent woman who identifies as a Third Culture Kid. Growing up in both Cameroon and the United States, she discovered many internal gems, which impacted her career. Her love for cross-cultural encounters inspired her strong interest to "blacken up" study abroad resources. Seeing that there were few to none, she developed The Black Expat- an online platform that centers conversations, resources, and real life experiences from Black Expats that engage globally. You do not want to miss this episode!

    EP 17: I Caught Her | Blurred Lines Between Student and Teacher Relationships

    In this mini-episode, Tiffany reflects on an unfortunate topic that impacts students and teachers domestically and internationally: inappropriate student/teacher relationships. Inspired from a conversation with her younger niece, Tiffany traveled back to Morocco to reflect on an experience when she had to report an inappropriate incident concerning a colleague. She specifically focuses on space and how expectations that fit one space could be completely different for another.

    EP 14: Christina McDade | An African American International School Counselor in Kuwait

    How do I describe Christina? Imagine a group of people sitting around a fire having a great conversation. Christina is talking… everyone is quiet… glued into every word that comes from her mouth. Poised and articulate with a hint of genuine authenticity- that’s Christina! I met Christina her when I visited a friend in Kuwait City, Kuwait. She worked in Kuwait as a counselor before moving to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In this episode, she checks in from the Netherlands while she was on a seven-day tour of universities in Holland. Listen to her amazing story about her EDpat journey.
