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.

Rory Verrett: Finding Peace & Purpose on the Path to Portugal
What happens when a high-powered executive recruiter decides he's had enough of America’s grind—and makes a bold move abroad?
In this episode of the Blaxit Global Podcast, I sit down with Rory Verrett, founder of Protégé Search and the Protégé Leadership Academy, to explore his powerful journey from corporate boardrooms to a more peaceful life in Lisbon, Portugal.
We talk about:
- The school violence that became the final tipping point for his Blaxit
- Why traditional success no longer felt fulfilling
- How he redefined purpose and peace outside of the U.S.
- His advice for Black professionals navigating Trump 2.0, layoffs, and the rollback of DEI
- How to position yourself for global opportunities in this shifting landscape
Whether you’re dreaming of living abroad, thinking about your next career move, or just looking for inspiration to reclaim your peace—this conversation is for you.
🌍 Tap in and be inspired to write your own global chapter.
