Blaxit Global
Welcome to Blaxit Global, a bi-weekly seasonal podcast that explores the transformative journeys of Black expats who chose freedom over fear and purpose over pressure.
Hosted by Chrishan Wright, who made her own Blaxit from the U.S. to Portugal, the show features candid conversations with trailblazers across the African diaspora who’ve left the grind behind to build intentional lives—and thrive abroad.
Each episode offers real stories, practical guidance, and powerful reflections on topics like systemic oppression, cultural transition, financial independence, and identity. Whether you're dreaming of your own Blaxit or already abroad, this podcast is your trusted guide for reclaiming your time, energy, and joy—across borders.
You’ve heard the term—now be inspired by the movement.
