Interesting thing from last night:
Like James Baldwin, my Bestie is getting the eff out of America.
Him: Girl, I'm done. This country is done. And I'm tired. I don’t owe this place shit. No Black person does. These people can work it out themselves. So I got an apartment in Bangkok so I can be prepared.
Hearing that from him was the first time I took serious pause and thought about my options.
I'm curious.
What do Black expats do?!?
Like, how did you do it?
How did you decide where to go?
That last question is stumping me.
I have no idea where I would go -- that's not going to demand i turn into a National Geographic adventurer.
(Like, remote mountains. That would freak me out. I can't do that. Or super hot anywhere. I'm peri menopausal -- I would burst into flame.)
