Reasons Why I Moved Abroad | Leaving the USA as a Guyanese American Black Woman

I didn’t move abroad because of politics, IN FACT At the beginning of 2024, I told my boss "I DON'T CARE who wins the next election, I DON'T THINK I WANT TO LIVE IN THE USA IN 2025. American culture has become toxic to Black women and many of us have been pushed out of the work force. Even if Kamala had won the last election, I already had one foot out the doors. After years of putting it off and making the more "responsible decision" and watching Stephanie Perry videos on Youtube, I finally put on the rose colored glasses and bet on myself. Here are the reasons that led me to leave the USA and move abroad! ABOUT ME: Call me Jo or Jojo. If you want to travel the world but you don’t want to be a bad tourist… join me! I’m a diversity facilitator, PR specialist, and a conscious traveler, I help travelers think global, act locally, and engage ethically so that we don't replicate colonization, contribute to climate change, disrespect local communities, or appropriate the cultures of the places we visit.
