Abroad Perspective

Lately, I’ve been finding myself as the only African — or one of very few — in certain spaces.

In professional rooms.
In skills development courses.
In places where opportunity, exposure, and growth are happening.
Even in kids activities

And it’s made me pause.

Not because we should be the majority — but because, proportionately, something feels… off.
We’re here. Our communities are here. Our children are here.

So why do we seem to disappear when it comes to spaces that build visibility, confidence, leadership, and long-term growth?

And it’s raised bigger questions for me:

Are we building — or just surviving?
Are we growing — or just getting by?
Are we thinking long-term — or only for the next shift, the next visa, the next remittance?

This conversation isn’t about blame.
It’s about perspective.
It’s about mindset.
It’s about remembering that we are capable of more than survival alone.

Because many of us are brilliant.
Skilled.
Educated.
Gifted.

And we deserve to be visible, heard, represented — and thriving — in every room our lives touch.

Christmas Abroad- A season of mixed emotions

The streets sparkle with lights.
The music is cheerful.
Everything feels festive…
And yet, for many of us living away from home, this season can feel quiet, lonely, even.
It’s possible to admire the magic around you while missing the noise, the warmth, and the people back home. Both feelings can exist. If this season feels a little heavier, know that you’re not alone. And if it feels joyful, embrace it fully.

Wherever you are in the world this Christmas, may you find moments of warmth, perspective, and connection.
