Should Black Americans Move Overseas? The Watsons Get Real

Could you see yourself living in another country? 🌎

From Brazil and Portugal to Thailand, Ghana, Jamaica, Senegal, South Africa, and beyond, they explore the possibilities and the complications of living abroad. They talk about the cost of living, safety, community, raising children bilingually, experiencing different cultures, remote work, and the difference between living in an expat bubble and building genuine connections with local communities.

But the conversation also goes deeper. After everything the family has experienced, they discuss whether leaving is a way to find peace and opportunity or whether staying and fighting for change is part of their responsibility.

Would you leave the country if you had the opportunity? Where would you go? And could you build a life somewhere else while still staying connected to the people and causes you care about?
