How Dr. Yanique Redwood & Ronnie Galvin Quit America & Built a Beautiful Life in Jamaica
Special guests YANIQUE REDWOOD & RONNIE GALVIN, co-authors of We Quit America: Our Exit from a Country Designed to Kill Black People, join Courtney for a grounded, unflinching conversation about what it really means to leave the U.S. — and why so many Black Americans are even asking the question right now. Grab your copy of We Quit America here: https://www.wequitamerica.com/ (https://www.wequitamerica.com/) Also in this episode: • Why “quitting America” wasn’t a sudden decision, but a slow reckoning shaped by years of organizing, policy work, and watching the same patterns repeat • The emotional and psychological cost of trying to change systems from the inside — and how to know when staying starts to demand too much • How the pandemic didn’t create their exit, but stripped away illusions many people were already struggling to maintain • What “quitting America” looked like long before leaving physically — including mental, financial, and lifestyle divestment • Why arriving in a new country with intention and care can matter just as much as the decision to leave the U.S. 🎧 Join our global community and get every new episode delivered directly to your inbox: https://blackexpatstories.myflodesk.com/ (https://blackexpatstories.myflodesk.com/) 🎶 Download the FREE Blaxit Soundtrack & Soul Work Journal: https://blackexpatstories.com/soundtrack (https://blackexpatstories.com/soundtrack) Rate, Review & Share!

How Charlotte Van Horn is making cross-cultural connections with Black Expats in Panama
We're taking you on a Virtual Voyage to Panama, and in this episode, I'm talking to the dynamic (and hilarious!) Charlotte Van Horn. She is a pioneering expat who experienced the gift of international travel at 40, and it forever changed the trajectory of her life. Fast forward to today and Charlotte is the founder of one of the fastest-growing Black expat communities in Latin America: Black Expats in Panama (https://www.blackexpatsinpanama.net/) with over 7,000 members. In this conversation, we're talking about: What inspired Charlotte's decision to Blaxit and make Panama her home full-time. How she maintained a long-distance marriage across international borders. (She's been married for 30 years!) How she adjusted to living in a new country and why she decided to start Black Expats in Panama. Why Charlotte believes Panama is a great country to start or continue one's Blaxit journey and how the Black Expat in Panama community offers new expats a soft place to land. The abundance of Black history in Panama and how she's illuminating it all with cultural immersion relocation tours. The harsh realities of expat living that aren't discussed widely enough on social media. Why Black expats should be collaborating (instead of competing) during this critical time in the Blaxit movement. Support our show and help us continue capturing history in the making.
