Black Girl Abroad: Living and Working as an Expat Visible Women Podcast

    • Careers

On this episode, we are talking about picking up and moving to another country. Not as a Millennial or a retiree, but as a Black woman at the height of her career. Our guest, Heather Shaw, decided to pull up stakes at the age of 40 and start a new life in Dubai. With her we discuss why she made the decision, job hunting abroad, how she built community, dating, job loss and how faith was an important factor of her experience. Plus, why she didn't have time to be fragile during this experience.
