What's your reason for wanting to move abroad?
Effortlessly improved health and becoming part of a true community.
Escape racism!
The American culture and government is so toxic. I want to live where humanity is the focal point and money isn't glorified and treated as a prized possession. 🙏🏾
I’m EXHAUSTED here in America….Mentally,and Physically. Society is toxic, my job is toxic and it has taken a toll on me ladies!
Peace of mind ❤
The best life is having a life that you don’t need a vacation from. ♊️ 👩🏽 🐈⬛ 🐦⬛ 👽 🛸 🔮 🌷
I desire to have that kind of life....😕🤞🏾💗
You two have been the second Bible to me. I left my job on June 20th with 2 years of planning after watching guys. I'm set and ready for my second chapter which involves travel and living outside this troubled country. I can't explain what you guys have given me to make this move and change my life. I'm crying right now so I'll stop. Thank you!!!!!
@@ChosenGirl-zj4uz it’s possible outside of the U.S. South Africa 🇿🇦 is a good start.
👆🏾
Exactly!
My biggest challenge regarding "American life" is the isolation, greed, obscene expectations, and cutthroat comparisons. I've hung on for far too long in a one-sided relationship with the U.S.
That's exactly what it is, an unhealthy, dysfunctional relationship. It's like staying in a bad marriage because it's become a habit.
The isolation in the states is almost unbearable.
The GREED...omg!
I will no longer be a support person for the rich.
- Stephanie Perry, May 2024
Well said! Those same rich people are out here sabotaging us politically!🤨
I am so ready to go. I’ve been ready to go. I am looking forward to getting the hell out of the USA. It’s time. This is a Third World nation now for black women intelligent smart, educated, healthy, funny, loving, kind, ready to move on. I think they should leave the US not a good place for us mentally✊🏽🙏🏽
Freedom!🎉🎉🎉
That is all good for some.. most likely people who pack up and leave the U.S.,are taking themselves there, and they will be miserables. People shouldn't leave if they have issues that they haven't tried to come to terms with. Most people don't look at the big picture.
I'm in need of assistance on how to leave step by step I want to Live like I have never Lived before I have had 40 years of life struggles just working to pay bills smdh....
Remember: We were brought here to work. We are expected to work until we drop. We must love ourselves.
Some of our ancestors lived freely and were never in chains. But of course Some were.
1000% on “loving ourselves” 🙌
@@soulspirationgoddess Many of mine were not. But as AA, even free people were subjected to the same indignities.
👏🏼👏🏼
Exactly. All of mine weren't either, but that didn't exclude them from prejudice.
I just moved back home to Africa after living in America for 37 years. I'm loving ❤️ it. I'm also on a mission to encourage others to leave Babylon before it burns down. You two ladies are beautiful 😍 inside and out. I appreciate you ladies very much 😊❤
It’s me realizing that the struggle, microagressions and hustle is never ending. If I want change, I have to choose something different. I love the US but it doesn’t love me back😢
Maybe not the area you are in. I'm living abroad in the Caribbean made that move during covid. Looking now to head back to the states but not NYC which is home to me. I'm never living there again it's hard living. I'm looking for another place I can maybe call home for a bit.
@phylisiadaley5995 I agree! I was born and mostly raised in Denver, CO aka "White Wakanda"😒 and honey, with all the micraggressions on top of the blatant racism, I'm tired. I'm planning to move to Georgia for more Black community and easier way of living. I also want to travel but like Roshida I like having planted roots.
@@dionysus9876 exactly I'm cracking up @white wakanda 😂😂😂 but yes I'm looking at Georgia as well and maybe North Carolina. Somewhere affordable, I'm a nature person, yet want to be able to drive into the city from time to time. NY was so expensive for the ghetto lifestyle. Being in the Caribbean has changed me, slowed me down and realized what things make me happy.
@@phylisiadaley5995 I wish that more people were honest like you and admitted that there are problems everywhere. I think the happiest people tend to be people who are financially secure and have a good social network.
@@phylisiadaley5995 Consider Northern VA, particularly, Alexandria, VA. It's close in to DC, the airports and has a lot of good amenities.
My last day at my job was this past Friday. I’ve developed a stress related autoimmune disease, and I’m over the political and social environment here in the US. I’m 35 and I’ve decided I’m in early retirement. Thank you for this platform ladies ❤ feels good to have a safe space where I won’t be looked at sideways for my decision
@JJNotEvans We will not look 👀 at you sideways for leaving that job, we will embrace you! 🤗 Congratulations for putting that behind you. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry that it got that bad. I also I was diagnosed with PTSD after leaving my job in academia as a black woman I now teach meditation and other methods to help heal illness and deal with our stress.
Sis. Go live your best life! You’re young. Go be great!!!!
Outstanding. 💪🏾💪🏾
I absolutely love these ladies. I watch them so much, I feel like I know them. I know their focus is black women. I am black, but I am not a woman, but I enjoy them just the same. I lived abroad for many years, and I love traveling. I never thought that leaving your job would be a movement. I left my job in December and now I live in a $15.00 a night hotel in Chiquimula Guatemala. Life is good.
Thank you for this comment. I needed to hear this.
Awesome!! Name of hotel??!!
Living in a hotel room doesn't seem very good, but I don't know your particular circumstances. Maybe you left a very stressful job, and now feel completely free.
Life expectancy in Guatemala is 69 years. Life expectancy in Iraq is 72, North Korea 73……
Omg!! Thank you Stephanie Perry for your story! Being single no kids and a stressful job. I’m tired. Tired of anxiety and depression. Working on my relationship with Christ and stepping out on faith! Love this!
Let's go Lady!! God created this whole world. Just because we were born in this country, He does not require us to stay here until, we leave for our permanent HOME. We must take the limits off of God! He wants us to see this Beautiful World😀❤
Same❤
Same here. No kids & single. But neglected to get in a 457 or 401 plan. I will have a monthly retirement but only like 1,300. I Hate this white racist job!
Her afro ❤
BasaaayBEEEEE!!!!!!❤❤❤
Don’t leave until you have a solid plan for how you’ll support yourself in old age. I’ve seen many of these free spirited people who didn’t save for retirement when they could really suffer in nursing homes. Living your best nomadic life is easy when you’re young, not so easy when you’re older unless you planned well.
Bless your heart. That happens in the US too, a lot.
@@Kozette007bless your heart too dear. Did I say it didn’t happen in the US? I’m not sure if you just made an assumption or didn’t comprehend my post.
This is a video about people who desire to leave the rat race and live a cheaper more independent lifestyle that may be nomadic. My post was geared to that audience. Not sure why that non-threatening piece of information triggered you but you’re in my prayers.
LISTEN..I have thought about that too. But honestly- most folks in the US...ah "suffer in nursing homes," in old age. That's what we do. I know very few folks who were cared for lovingly at home...VERY FEW. Are you saying have money for a NICE nursing home?
So give more information, how to be nomamedic and live abroad. An age correctly and be ready to retire well
I mean if you want to stay in blackistan then just say that . stop trying to fear monger blk women who don't want to live around that nonsense
"How much of a hippie do you want to become?" Frankly, this question fills me with delight!
Same!!
Same
My husband and I have been nomadic for five years. For three years we bopped around Europe and it was amazing. 18 countries! We're back in the states because of family stuff and we're miserable. We are discussing where we'll settle in the future. I've traveled abroad since I was a teen, but when I actually lived in places for three to 15 months and became part of community in other countries, it changed everything. We lived in Albania for a year and I remember I was at the fish shop down the street and decided I wanted to add a bottle of wine to my order. I was going to walk back up the hill to get more money and the owner was like, "Why are you doing that? Just pay me the next time you're over here." I was literally confused. He said, "You're my neighbor. I know you." That was it.
We had so many experiences like that in Europe, it was crazy. Leaving my bike outside of the grocery store for hours unchained in Finland. Not a soul bothered it. Getting on the bus with the wrong ticket and being told I could ride for free because the driver didn't want me to miss my flight. Just the we were treated was night and day to the US. I can't wait to leave again.
I was just telling my friend about you saying that leaving your job and the US stops you from supporting white supremacy. It really hit me deep. TRUTH!!!! I’m planning on going to Italy 🇮🇹 and further in October with any money I can possibly find. With the Lord’s blessing and mercy and free house sitting accommodations, I SHALL RISE!!!! 🙌🏾
@@jayrober4834Thanks for the suggestion but I have no interest in visiting Africa. We are all individuals with different life experiences and my experiences and desires lead me to Europe. 😊 BTW, there is not a country on the planet that doesn’t have a messy history. You have to find the mess you can live with. 😊
There are other troubles besides Racism you know, do your homework and look up videos of people living abroad especially in Africa, there are horrible stories out there.
@@annastasiabeverhaus Colombia was way better than i expected. Also, Portugal was great too. We were in Italy for a month ... no issues
@@Shirleyowens383exactly

We’re moving to Jamaica next year too, I totally agree with these beautiful ladies ❤. We’re in the belly of the beast in the USA.
Moving to Jamaica ? hahahahaha
Congratulations ❤
Jamaica? Beautiful but dangerous. Especially if you're middle class and above. I only go on vacations there but never to live.
Exactly
Going to Jamaica to retire ? You are in the belly of the beast in the USA ? You are going to be in the mouth of the beast there with a target on your back
Completely valid information. You ladies sound JUST LIKE ME 20 years ago. When they re-elected Bush, I knew it was time for my Exodus to Ghana 🇬🇭 Two Decades Later still the best decision of my life. I reinvent myself periodically and presently more fulfilled than I ever dreamed possible.
“What do you want to do? You wanna go get some snacks?”
At this grown grown age. This is me. I am the snack lady always trynna get some snacks 😅. Now im gonna just ask people outright if they wanna go get some snacks with me.
👋🏽😁😅
LET'S GET SOME SNACKSSSS!
R
Yeah, that sounds so refreshing 😂
I’m so glad this video popped up for me. I am approaching 47 and I identified as a truck driver and my children are adults and I have one grandchild and one on the way but you all are speaking my language. I just did a RUclips video about me evolving at my age. I haven’t saved much but I have worked hard my whole life and my whole soul is tired. I must learn more and do more and I definitely want to go!!
I am that woman who has a husband who has heard me talk about this and since the pandemic. When I first started listening to Stephanie, Her videos were my Escape while trapped in what was my safe space from Covid scares. But blessings are real and my husband is on board! We are planning our scouting trips as we speak! 1st stop, Mexico!! I cannot wait to meet you both at one of the meet ups. Keep the beautiful content coming. I really do love you guys.❤
Congratulations 🎉
Replay gang! Good morning ladies! Thank you for this upload. I’ve have been living abroad for a bit over a year and my life took a complete 180 for the best. The greatest change I have experienced thus far is the community I gained. Everything that I may have stressed about in the US I haven’t had to worry about now. My stress levels have dropped drastically resulting in over 20 lbs of weight loss. Nowhere is perfect but I have found more happiness with less than everything I had in the US. Keep up the great work ladies! Greetings from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 ❤
THIS IS A RECRUITMENT VIDEO!!!! Took me out 😂😂AND caught ME!!❤❤❤(Been thinkin and wanting to leave…feels like FOREVER!!)
Living a life that we love is the key! I'm planning on moving to a very small city in Egypt, hopefully by December. I visited there in 2021 for three weeks. I'm retired now, , very healthy and God willing, will continue on this amazing journey of life. Thank you ladies, for inspiration and encouragement.👍🏽👍🏽
Was in Egypt 2 years ago in Cairo, El Gouna and Hurghada for 3 months. Enjoy.
The one paycheck comment got to me. I have been thinking about managing my life. I recently had a surgery for a second time. My oldest daughter was able to help me. But I had to rush back to work because I couldn’t pay my bills. I also have a family trip coming up. And my aunt who is coordinating the trip was asking me during my medical leave, when I was going to pay for this family vacation? I feel like I am the only one struggling. I also felt like I was going to become homeless. My current job is the only job I had that would allow me the time off and some pay.
Besides my daughters I know i don’t have a community. And I fear my daughter don’t have a community besides each other.

I'm Rene' whose 63yrs and single. I'm currently living in Kenya and lovin it!!! I'm stress free and retired. I own my own home and land. I would have never been able to do what I have in America. Moreover, I have lived in China 2x, United Arab Emirates, and Kenya. I have traveled a lot different places (Jamaica, Mexico, St Thomas, Europe etc) and I chose Kenya. At this time, I plan to visit other African countries and Asia and work my farm land. America will always be my country but not my home. Be bless and Shalom ❤🇰🇪🇺🇸
Two divine Goddesses... that are living their best lives.. and funny as heck! Love you both...
Oh, how this speaks to the core of my existence. I have two young adult children, and I just told my eldest that I'm over being in the U.S. After being an entrepreneur and single mom, I'm done with grinding. I told my son I wanted to travel abroad to see where I'd like to live or move around. It is a daunting idea, but I have no fear of reinventing in a new environment. I'm intrigued. Google heard me. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Total agree, black women, please listen to these ladies and try figure how to make some changes in living your best lives especially young ladies who are just starting out planning live will take you in a total direction . Once you start having kids
Your life is not your own. Trust a mother who is 73 years old.❤❤❤❤
Stephanie Perry, I just love your facial expressions. Just. Don't. Care! Clank those glasses ladies. Celebrate your lives 😂
Exactly! Stop giving this country your energy. Our energy is what has made it successful. They like it when we protest..it gives them purpose. Leave this country and give it as little energy as possible.
Even if you’re married, especially if you’ve been married a long time, you have to learn to put yourself first. I’ve been married 28 years and I’ve decided to put myself first and that means moving abroad solo and my husband will join me later.
Yes same here. My husband isn’t onboard. I’m ready to go. But God I’m a newlywed.
@@AngieC1979 yes, that does make things a bit more complicated. If you can, Get him to listen to other couples who have made the move. He might not change his mind right away but maybe he’ll change it sooner than later. We have a podcast and this is one of the areas we talk about.
Roshida i hear you!!! I was the ONLY one in the company in my role (Analyst), and the only BIPoC. Part of my role was trying to keep everyone else from making mistakes that would cost the whole company, and they constantly questioned my expertise and were increasingly condescending. Those folks had me on anxiety meds. 2 years in I lost my closest sister in a tragic accident, and they didn't bat an eye.
Love you guys. I’m 60 year old Social Worker. I’m pretty healthy and don’t want to wait until I turn 62. I have a small savings. I’m praying about me going solo to travel and get to know me even with a husband that loves to work.
Consider housesitting to get some some travel at a lower cost because the accommodations are taken care of and since you’re usually in a house or apartment, you can cook a lot of your food. When I quit teaching, depressed, PTSD, I managed by housesitting for like 8 months till I could get myself together.
Yesssss!!!! Go for it!
I appreciate you queens. I have been wanting to live abroad forever. It's great that people in the black community are taking those steps to get out of America and to expand horizons. Congrats to you both,
I am trying to achieve Stephanie's level idgaf @42:31 !!! I love it ❤😂
Help! I want out!! I know that I need to get out.
We want you to! follow the steps we outlined in the video.
Totally agree! Do you have a plan of action yet?
So much debt and hatred in America now i talk to young people who want to travel and find a country they like to move to.
I'm with you, I've been contemplating to do this for some time now. I stumbled on this; however, nothing happens by chance. This is confirmation👍🏾 YAASSSSSS!!!❤it!!
There are pros and cons. I'm hearing the pros. What are the cons?
OMG my taurus twin sis you really hit me when you spoke on being the caregiver for the parent when others are expecting me to carry on with the same while they go along with their lives. I was in west Africa just when the Plandemic kicked off and when I returned almost a month later my mother started having different joint issues. Now that a few years after my return her back and knee surgery curtailed my plans. I really don't understand siblings that don't simply step up. This video was valuable, thank you.
Ladies you are both so encouraging I'm going back to Costa Rica 🇨🇷 for the second time in November I'm excited, next will be Africa
The way things are going, I understand.
I'm trying to get myself and my mom out of Babylon before it burns down! I want peace, joy and happiness!
Hey, Fabulous Ladies!!! Sending love and vibes for your best vacation yet!

Thank you so much L'Trentis!! Hey! 👋🏾 💗
I’m not even a woman but yall attracted me here to see this. Black Queens LIVING Dreams!! I friggn LOVE this! Yall energy so beautiful here it’s felt!
Yall give Kings hope!
I run from these ladies in these United States cause I work on myself daily,, so my intuition can feel all their inner Hells, wounds unhealed hairy spiders
I been talking to the Kings & young lions about understanding honor, meditation, changing how we see ourselves.
Thank you Divine Goddesses for your SHINY EXAMPLE of Blk Female EXCELLENCE under Divine Blessing 🫶🏾🙏🏾👑I’m loving on yall from Detroit 🫶🏾👑
I am a single mom and I want to move abroad. I’m not sure where to begin. The US does not bring me joy. My job has a base in London so I could move there. I LOVE my job as an FA. Im just not sure I could be anywhere without working and I’m not sure I can afford to be anywhere
Does FA mean flight attendant? If you love your job, are you able to move somewhere that will allow you to keep that job? Do you like London?
@@denisenoles3159 yes that’s what it mean. I have only been to London as a child so I don’t remember it
I hope you take a trip to London (and wherever else you might like) to see how you like it. You have a benefit that a lot of other people don't have. Use it to your benefit Sis. Safe travels.
@@tisha812 being a single mom with virtually I help I don’t get to use it as often as I’d like yet but staying in for the long haul my children can use it more and I can use it more as I continue to work towards affording my own freedom outside of work 😩 as they get older I get to do it more and more
Discover other cultures, excitement, adventure, meeting the same mindset people. Being disenfranchised due to outside appearance.❤
Free to be me!!!😊😊😊
omg, Rashida I took care of my dad until his death. I have 6 other brothers and sisters, not one of them stepped up. Now that my father has passed away, I feel so lost in life. like i feel like im all alone in america. I am ready to go.
Im sorry for the misspelling of your name Roshida
small steps. It's so hard to find people that want to travel and hang out.
Your not alone. My fiance passed. I feel sad too. Everyday
Moment of Silence ~
You were a good daughter and you will be blessed for taking care of your dad.
I need help leaving economically without being followed socially and technologically. Thankful for your channel. I was brought to the United States by my mother at age two. I never had a choice to chose a country. My Haitian family members did. They stated the United states was better than Haiti. But all of them are starting life from 0$ and I am starting off with 67,000+ unsubsidized interest and low paying job positions in the same county I went elementary, middle, college in. I am dealing with my resentment of being cast away economically and I am trying to do what you guys did. Pay them their money back and chose a better social/economic community.
To remove the resentment, try to look at it as they tried to do what they thought was best for you (and it technically was). They gave you a life of options you wouldn't have if you stayed in Haiti. It's unfortunate you have debt but you're privileged to be able to earn money in a currency that can get you far in many other countries. You can go somewhere with a low COL work online and be able to pay down your debt plus there's other ways to pay it down. Lots of great resources on RUclips on how to lower debt. Stay positive cause the life these ladies preach is within your means. Get a pen and paper and start creating a plan. You got this!
Thank you ladies a brother here i can relate been stress alot in this country when i leave America i always feel alot happier moving to Colombia soon been going there back and forth for over 15 years plan on moving either to the beach Cartagena or a mountain town seems like when i go there stress is lifted off of me.
So inspiring ladies! Do it for yourself ladies 💯 . The men will ALWAYS be there especially since currently there are more men then women worldwide 🌎
I plan to leave the US. I was so glad I found you on youtube- because i thought my dream was crazy 😂. I have many hurdles, a large family, finishing my degree and strengthening my business with nyc contracts to support my life abroad. My steps. When I am able I will definitely make deeper with expat communities. I will be watching and sharing, God Bless you both ❤
I truly appreciate both of you ladies!! As a 47 year old single black mother of 3 adult children, i feel as though its my time now. Time for me to start the next chapters of my life. I was a caretaker to my mother( only child she had) and nothing is tethering me to not follow the desire I've always had to travel. ❤
You both seemed so relaxed- this video was inspiring it was simple but heartfelt and covered all the points, nice to also see the two of you in the same room-- I think we did on the cruise too...Also loved when Roshida said "this is why I can't" change it to "how can I?" That's my mindset too...ask yourself the RIGHT QUESTIONS to get helpful answers.
Exactly! How?! I know it can be done. The question is how can i?
Greetings Stephanie & Rashida, I have been following you all for a year now. I previously worked out of the Country for a yr and half. I have some experience. One yr and a half until retirement. I am preparing, intentional to leave the U.S. The U.S. is imploding, false democracy, and being black in America, as a black woman, there is no sense of safety. I am not going to let the U.S. eat away my retirement. My life is my own and I get to choose and create my own sanctuary. Im considering Panama or Costa Rica. I am of Costa Rican Roots. I love La Purda Vida.
I am looking at Costa Rica as well. I am getting into wellness and heard that's the place to go.
Oh Definitely come to Panama 🇵🇦 and find out how you feel away from US. I feel safe and secure among black and brown people and love the sense of peace and freedom! ❤😊
I live in America and live by those same rules. This was the best information given to black women please continue to encourage that it’s not taboo to put yourself first start life-ing your way not societies way. Very good information. My scary ass has to get over my fear to travel to even find where I would want to relocate to. You guys are so inspiring I have always had a mindset that I will not be slaving and miserable on any job, these job are toxic as hell the jealousy is running rampant I’m also a therapist so I get burned out quick working around so many low vibrational energies. I now work for my self feeling like I live in a bubble because I avoid people especially low vibrational people. I surround myself with positive energy and people only. This was a great topic it has really encouraged me to consider taking a 90 day stay somewhere. Thank you both.
Unfortunately I am responsible for small people and have to make sure that I am making the best decisions possible for them FIRST
You can move to another country with small people. People do it all the time.
Appreciate you ladies
So I have watched this video more than once and attended the 2023 Summit. I watch both of these ladies' videos and I am on the road to my departure. Thank Stephanie and Roshida🤩
Mauritius is the one! I can't wait. Been living in the Caribbean (I'm from the US) but just moved back to Brazil with my 2 youth
How was your move with little ones? I have an 8 year old and have been looking at strategies to move out of the country
Im looking into The Dominican Republic, because they have wonderful programs for US Veterans!!
Great!😊 I made the move as a snowbird in 2014 due to stress related health issues (from living that USA life). I made the move more permanent in 2016 when politics in the states began to remind me of the children's story, The Emperor's New Clothes! I lived beachside until the end of last year. Now I live in the interior because I'm considering getting a nice piece of land.
@@Dulcera wonderful
I live in FL. Never seen snow in my life lol. Yes, you can live without Winter.
Just happened across this video in my suggestions and I think it was meant to be. You two are awesome!! Looking forward to making big positive changes in my life. 🙌🏾
42:32 “Listen, you can type it out if it’s going to make you feel better.” 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this conversation, & I'm currently making plans to get out of the "United" States soon!! I just wish Facebook Groups had their own app...so I can bypass my general feed & jump straight to the content I'm interested in. Lbvs!
Just phenomenal! Thank you, lovely ladies.
♥ *Pressure APPLIED!* ♥
Pressure makes diamonds, right? Thanks for watching!
@@exodussummit You bet it does❣️
When you mentioned the sense of community outside of the US, that really made me feel warm & fuzzy and washed away a bit of the fear I am experiencing. I'm actually space-bagging my clothes watching/listening to you ladies, when I start packing here and there that's when the irrational feelings hit me. Stephanie, I saw one of your videos for the first time, I think about 2 weeks ago and was like, "Huh?! For sure I'm outta here before I even sign up to housesit.
I appreciate you!
I love Stephanie. She is so down to earth and humble ❤
Ready or Not
HERE I COME!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤😅😊
I love this , I need the blue print please, I work at the Railroad and I have eight years left for retirement and I will be 67 years old and the company is laying off and providing buyouts so there are no guarantees. Next chapter, please I am single no children and I have bought a condo and a lot of debt.
Just my 2 cents but as I read your comment....my immediate thought was:
1. Sell your condo
2. Take the surplus (if any) to pay off your debts
3 .Use your savings to begin to fund your new life abroad (its much cheaper to live in other countries
Yes...sell that condo. You sneeze and they go up on HOA fees. Blessings to you.
Rent your Condo out through property management company and move abroad for a year.
Do a remote job while living abroad.
I am a black woman who has lived abroad for 3 years. It is nice being about to travel and meet new people but the fuckery is real. You WILL get taking advantage of because you are an American. Everyone thinks we are rich! Racism exists oversees too. You have to have a job with a 401k and a Plan and health care. People make it seem like moving oversees is the answer to everything!
Thank you. I have traveled to three continents outside of the USA and it’s really no different. I experienced racism as well. My family was very helpful with raising our children. This is all subjective.
🎯
It was the answer for me 😊
The U.S. financial woes are spiraling, your investments will suffer.
So glad I found your channel!!!
Great video! Thank you both for sharing your experiences and encouragement.
Greetings Beautiful Queen Diva Sistah’s so appreciative of this inspiring conversation! I just returned from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 on June 12, for 3 wks of traveling around country! I will be living abroad within the year! I do spiritual retreats around world has a Spiritual Transformational Journey going within connecting with my authenticity. Love this phenomenal community you have created! I look forward to learning more of your insights and recommendations living in various countries!
Thanks so much for this video. I am a Black Female who requested to join your Facebook Group just now. Single, no kids, have Passport, really want out of America, and need guidance. Look forward to connecting!!! Thank you ladies!!!!!
Happy and Free.... What a concept 🤯 Thank you ladies for continuing to spread this message
Hello Roshida and Stephanie! Great conversation.
Thanks for all of the inspiration!!! 💕💕💕💕
Sooo enjoy your videos. I am looking forward to becoming a NOMAD but leaving the U.S. for good is NOT my goal.
Children, grands and other loved ones in United States.
My ancestors shed blood here and many others died here to make Black lives better. Appreciate y'all's perspective though.
Nothing wrong with leaving the US for good. Thousands of “US Immigrants” have left their birth place for the US by choice. Now they are running back home!. Life in the US is NOT the bed of roses it looks like from the outside. No sick days from work; no free health care; one day in hospital cost thousands $$. People work 2-3 jobs to make it financially; no home life; women don’t cook, give little kids junk food for supper. Divisive politics is the MAIN religion. What’s so great about life in the US? Girls, blacks people were not born for winter. For you “Christians”, even Adam and Eve did not have winters to put up with !!😂 cheers to the Exodus group 👏
I accept the Recruitment invitation!😁
I’ve been considering expatriation for a few yrs. I agree with you Rashida & Stephanie! Happy for y’all. And hoping to bring it to fruition like y’all have!👍🏽👏🏽
Stephanie, your 'fro is my *_life_* goal, woman 😅❤❤❤
People want to know what you do to decide how to treat you is spot on.
I'm going to co-sign with Roshida and Stephanie about men. Don't worry about being lonely or not finding a man in another country. As a former military member who lived overseas, men from other countries tried to shoot their shot. Don't let that be why you stay in the U.S. Men are men and they'll try whether you're in the US or not.
I am black woman who is also thinking about it myself. One day. I just know there are some opportunities that I will never have elsewhere. I love seeing other black women or African American women living their BEST LIVES! Go you two! Keep it up!
That's the part I was looking for... I just started law school as a non traditional student because I want to practice law internationally but these last two months the U.S. really has me shook
This amazing content! Thank you so much ladies for all of the knowledge and in regards to the “men” thing I’ve had greater luck abroad than here in the US
The lady with the afro and her laughing at the end when the kidnapping was mentioned was so cute and sweet. Her smile is just everything, LOL.
I had to listen to this video. I couldn't watch it. I couldn't watch it because the beauty of these two Black women side by side was just an overdose. For health reasons I just listened to it. Two beautiful and smart women sitting side by side Rashida and Stephanie.
You guys are great 🌟. I fell asleep today watching another video, & when I woke up, this podcast was rolling. I loved it podcast & subscribed immediately ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉. I’m an African woman living in Europe. We need to dare the change 🪂 in our lives despite naysayers
I’m working on it, first step leaving the job that’s making me miserable and I was just telling my daughter like a week ago I don’t mind leaving the United States!
You Sistahs look wonderful, and the info was on point and revelant, you Girls are LOVED !!! Brown Sugar is undefeated!!!
Needed and appreciated, thank you!!! ❤
Awesome! I totally enjoyed this 😅 💚!
I love your hair! Thank you for this video. Definitely my dream!
Here’s the thing- now, these ladies are well-traveled whereas I’m minimally-traveled; thus, I’m NOT refuting ALL of their claims altogether. However, I also want us to be honest when we talk about being abroad for extended periods or even living abroad. I get that we as black people (especially women) are constantly trying to find our place in the world, while combating racism & modern day slavery via work. However, all countries have issues & opression.And if you’re involved in your local community, you WILL start to know of the issues within that community. Mauritius, for example, has a HUGE drug problem for locals, from what I understand. While visitors see the beauty & luxury of the place, the black people there who are locals are HIGHLY oppressed & impacted by addiction, drug cartels, & the travel industry exploiting them. We can go anywhere in the world & choose to live like we’re always on vacay- but if we are in the world doing God’s work & His will, you WILL face persecution & challenges in between your abundant blessings, regardless of location.
I agree that you can be a new person in a new place- I also agree that we need to be financially free & smarter about work. But systems are FOR SURE in place to oppress the people everywhere…we just happen to be blessed enough as Americans abroad to have access to what is typically considered luxury in other places for locals, whereas the locals often become YOUR “Help” & modern day slaves. 😢
With US’s ties & power (& the diminishing international relationships in many places), eventually, US’s political & social problems will ultimately impact many US citizens/expats in many other places over time, depending on their alliance with or opposition to the U.S.
Truth is, we can’t run from the responsibility of being a human & taking care of one another… we also can’t party/eat/drink & earn ($) away all of our time, thinking that’s all we’re going to experience because we’re not in the US; we can choose to ignore life’s issues for as long as possible, but we will eventually feel the harsh effects of ignoring it/ ignoring God’s will for our lives.🤷🏽♀️
LASTLY- we can’t ignore that these women are older & are each single; I agree that you can find your husband ANYWHERE. But if you’re serious about someone where you live & he can’t go, don’t just “follow your heart”; follow GOD’S will! If His will is for you & your guy to marry & do God’s work, then that’s what really matters. What they don’t know is, our hearts are deceitful; that’s why God’s will is important to follow. Just something to consider IF you are a believer.
That being said, traveling is so fun & exciting, & I DO recommend it in between life’s realities. 🤗❤🙏🏽
I am not specifically a Crist follower, but I respect all religions and what you are saying about the just exploitation of the poor and often people of color, though not exclusively around the world you know is a sad reality for sure. And it does weigh on me and yet it’s like you know how much can I do and like all our ancestors how can I best survive, which is what all peoples were about they would nomad they would move for food hunting grounds land, escape War zones so this has been going on since the beginning of time. I mean humans looking for the best they can.
Wow this is a lot … how about keeping it simple? There is a lot of fear 😨 in the statement.. then the last part … the entire read was a headache.. especially the male centered part … men and women come and go 😮live your life !!
I am a believer with the full understanding of the importance of being in God's will. Every believer knows to seek the Lord in prayer for these type of major life decisions. Now remember, God is a GLOBAL God. Not just the God of the U.S. Wherever you go on this earth, you take the Holy Spirit and the gospel of Jesus Christ with you, right? Remember, God sometimes even unctions people to move to other countries. Traveling, vacationing and actually living abroad are separate things. Living abroad is not a vacay everyday. It's a new cultural experience that's different for each person/family. These 2 women are single in their 40's early 50's, but there are many older, and younger, married with/without children, Christian and otherwise who have successfully made moves abroad. Many are in ministry in their new countries. They are not running away from responsibilities, but in many cases, they are running to their God-given destinies. Jesus came that we might have life and that more abundantly. For some, the abundance is outside of the U.S. God's plan is not the same for everyone. You can learn a lot from these ladies and many others who have expat knowledge. Take only what's for you. God Bless. 🙏♥
Thank you for a very inspiring and beautiful video🌻🌻🌻
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me!
I'm open to the idea of leaving the US. Especially with how things are here.
I’m happy for you guys I’ve been feeling that way for long time
Good Stuff - help black women & Enjoy
Love this
OMG! I've been quiet leaving my job for years.😅 I want to thank you so much for addressing the women loving women. No other welcome abroad videos mentioned this. I'm doing my own research on that. My wife needs to be convinced but I think the political condition in the US will do it. Great video!
As a business owner of over 25 years, I can’t take this toxic energy anymore. Please contact me regarding moving abroad as soon as possible. I’m ready.
Me too!!👌🏾
I LOVE THISII I AM SO TRULY GRATEFUL THAT I FOUND STEPHANIE AND THIS CHANNEL. THANK YOU X100000000000
