WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We’re making a docuseries! As spaces for nuanced, humanizing storytelling about Black life shrink in the mainstream, Black Expat Stories is filling the gap. We’re evolving from a podcast into a series that documents America’s Next Great Migration: the Blaxit by amplifying the voices too often misrepresented, underestimated, and misunderstood. And we need your help to fund the stories that still need to be told.
