“Lisbon. Accra. Kingston. Dubai. Cape Town. These are the places that Black British people I have spoken to in recent weeks are investigating as viable alternatives. Not for holidays. Not for short trips. Not for nomad working, Passport Bro hook-ups, or sabbaticals. But to live – relocating work, home & family”

It's re the "exodus of Black Americans from the U.S. in recent years ... building communities in countries such as Portugal, Ghana, Colombia and Mexico.

“[The] 'Blaxit' ... movement has been boosted by social media, where influencers share inspirational posts about their odysseys abroad."

Fed up with racism, many Black Americans are leaving the US

'I’m not captive any more,' says a Californian now living in Costa Rica — one of many Black Americans citing racism as why they're leaving the U.S.

I'm about 50% through with the relocation to Panama. Getting rid of stuff and staging house were as big a job as I thought it would be. Selling is time consuming.
Setting up a business and convincing my job to hire me as a contractor was also a big headache and they stuck it to me every chance they could. But in the end, I think I'm setting up the cashflow insurance policy that my family deserves. #blaxit

@Teri_Kanefield And this is why there is a growing #Blaxit movement, even though Trump is no longer in presidency (for now). We've seen this movie too many times. There are a lot of reasons to leave (Panama looks good) and not a lot of reasons to stay.
@TonyStark it’s ALWAYS a good time to #Blaxit
