I Moved to Kigali and It Was NOT What I Expected

Описание: CORRECTION: The genocide against the Tutsi was in 1994, not 1990 as I stated in the video.

Are you a Black woman curious about solo travel or moving abroad? In this video, I share my raw and honest experience of living in Rwanda as a solo female expat. Inspired by trailblazers like Roshida Dowe, Stephanie Perry, and Adalia Aborisade, I reflect on what drew me to discover Kigali, the challenges of expat life, and why Kigali expat life wasn’t the perfect fit for me.

If you’re dreaming of joining the Black women exodus from the United States of America, exploring countries where Black travelers feel welcome, or embracing rest for Black women, this video is for you. I’ll unpack the realities of living abroad / expat life, from day in the life of an expat insights to the unexpected ways community—or the lack of it—shaped my experience.

Whether you’re taking a sabbatical as self care, leaving behind a toxic job, or pursuing radical self love for Black women, this journey is about more than just relocating. It’s about black women healing, divesting from white supremacy, and claiming a life of ease and wealth. I’ll also discuss expat life requirements and share my thoughts on how hard is moving abroad for Black women really?

If you’ve ever asked, “What are Black women giving up by leaving the United States of America?” or “What countries are safe for Black people?”—you’re not alone. Let’s explore how midlife women like me navigate these questions while prioritizing self care vs community care and finding ways to reclaim the retreat.

From Black women abroad to solo travel for Black women, I hope this video inspires you to embrace it's selfish season for Black women and create a life of from burnout to bliss. Ready to design your next chapter? Let’s talk!
