Leave Well Abroad™ is a space for Black women navigating the emotional reality of relocating and building lives abroad. Relocation isn’t just about paperwork, plane tickets, and scouting, it’s also about identity, grief, reinvention, and growth.

As a black woman who has lived in major U.S. cities, traveled to 20 countries, and built a life outside of the states, I have developed a great sense of self, adventure, cultural competency, compassion, and shifts in my identity. What I've learned in my years of travel and living outside of the U.S. is that, moving abroad is a phenomenal and challenges you in ways you otherwise wouldn't experience, there is a major internal shift that isn't talked about as much. This journey can come with feelings of grief and loss as well as shedding of your old identity and into a new one. The emotional toll relocating and living abroad can take is something I decided needed a bigger voice.

As a mental health and wellness professional, emotional well-being is an important topic and lifestyle in my own life and it is not excluded from this process. Everything we carry, we take with us and sometimes a change in our environment is only half the battle. That's why I created Leave Well Abroad™

We exist to help black women prepare emotionally, move intentionally, and land softly in their move abroad without abandoning themselves or getting bogged down by unrealistic expectations in the process.
