Next Episode: Ep 136: The Only Way That I’m Going To Heaven Is Via Spousal Visa ft Brian Laung Aoaeh, CFA

We haven't had guests born in the United States but living in a different country for some time now, who better than two unique and inspiring women that I have been a fan of right from Oct 2020 when I first heard about some of their work on my favorite podcast The Black Guy Who Tips (link below). Since that fateful day in October, I began following Angela Fobbs and Adrianne George the Co-hosts of the Black Women in Europe podcast.

The Black Women in Europe podcast was born from the multi-award-winning blog of the same title that has been in the running for fifteen years. Be you a Black immigrant or an indigenous (especially woman) in Europe, the Black Women in Europe blog has great resources and connections for your network. The second season of the podcast kicks off right after this episode drops. Link below!

Before blogging and podcasting, Angela and Adrianne both began life in different parts of America. One in a boring town, the other in an exciting place. Each woman's dream as a teenager also pointed to a different path but the universe always courses correct and thus began their adventure overseas. This conversation has unisex names, gangs, and colors, beautiful love stories, laughs, and so much was learned. Most importantly, get out and vote, we cannot afford to let the Fascists win. Climate change can be solved if we vote for the right people, so Vote in November!
