Luster's Raven Leilani grapples with the messy millennial and the American dream
Being A Black Millennial...Expat... with a 4-year-old
Firstly, I am incredibly proud of the progress the Black and Brown community has made fulfilling our ambitions to travel. Large strides have been made to produce better platforms for black travelers all over the world.
I remember nearly ten-years-ago, watching travel vlogs and reading travel articles from one lens to now witnessing, in real time, travel from millennial men and women who look just like me. It's truly inspiring! And I am so proud to say that I am one of them.
Blog sites such as www.travelnoire.com make it easier for the modern black traveler to find spectacular destinations, amazing food choices and mind-blowing ‘to-do’ lists all in one place.
The strides are evident, and with the increased online visibility of black travel, my peers are realizing travel is something that is actually attainable. This realization has been monumental in my decision.
I mean, when it came to announcing that I was uprooting my 4-year-old to Mexico, the responses from older demographics were alarming in 2019. The fears they still possessed regarding moving anywhere outside of the tri-state area were mind-numbing. A move to Atlanta from Philadelphia would have been a reasonable and more realistic change. And while it takes a real leap of faith anytime you uproot, that was not the change I envisioned for Khi and I. However, the feedback from my fellow millennials was exactly what I needed to stay focused and encouraged. Also having friends (none with kids, but...) that successfully uprooted themselves to foreign places successfully gave me that extra boost as well.
So far being a Black Millennial Expat in Mexico with a 4-year-old, is...WAIT FOR IT... so incredible. I couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. The other day, Khi and I visited our local park in efforts to find a friend to play with. Having a limited Spanish vocabulary, Khi pushed me to speak to the parents' of the young kids so he could play with them. Initially, I was a bit hesitant. Although my understanding and vocabulary of the Spanish language is greater than his, I still haven't grasped the confidence to become conversational. But that day I did. I had the first of many conversations in Spanish. I believe if I was here by myself I would have put it off a bit longer. I also challenge myself daily to learn, visit, and explore new areas to keep him busy. These are all parts of the “ballsiness” of being a Black Millennial... Expat... with a 4-year-old. So, label me impulsive, unrealistic, and privileged. I am branding myself as a part of history and paving ways for my son to believe in what was once "unrealistic" as an all possible mission.
A blog intended to provide accessible and easily understandable information about money management, wealth building, and investing.
Hey everyone, I recently started a blog for us black millennials where I will be sharing information to help us begin to build wealth in the black community.
Why black millennials are leaving cities like New York for better opportunities.
“Opportunity — for work, for a bigger house. And something else. It’s a sort of visible humanity, Dr. Barron, the sociologist, said, the idea that black people can live in an area where blackness is seen as valuable, despite the horrific past, because of the legacy that black people have left in the region. “I will be seen as Jessica doing XYZ versus the black girl here doing XYZ,” she said, of making a life in the South. “I think people underestimate that...”
