SHOW NOTES:Hey hey, Everybody!Welcome back to (A)Broad in Education. In this resurrection episode, I talk about divine connection, which is on my mind as I prepare for this new position as an assistant professor. I meet so many teachers and EDPats who often talk about wanting to get out of the classroom. Still, I think the transition is much bigger than getting another degree or certificate. Listen to my story as I talk about the importance of DIVINE CONNECTIONS.After you listen to this episode, I encourage you to reach out to the divine connections in your life and let them know how grateful you are for them. MENTIONED LINKS: Check out this episode on Union Church Podcast with Pastor Brian Bullock: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/union-church-podcast/id1247994003?i=1000660039014Interested in conducting research in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates?

SHOW NOTES:In memory of my dear friend David Thornton, I share this episode with a heart filled with sadness and joy. The essence of my sadness grieves deeply for a fallen EDPat while the essence of my joy beams peace for having created such a beautiful time capsule. At the time we recorded this episode, my intuition made it very clear that it was too early to publish. It was 2020 and there was so much going on for David that I was led to simply file the content and leave it be. When I recently heard of his transition, I decided to search for the episode and listen to it again.It's only now that I feel absolute peace sharing this story that he graciously shared with me years ago.  It manifests today as a type of audio archive to share his humor, his laugh, and his charisma, all of which explain why he was loved by so many.  SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

Welcome to the grand finale of Season 4. As we wrap up this conversation, exploring relationships abroad. I have a personal story to share with you, a story that weaves together the threads of my identity as a transnational commuter and one that gives detail about the generational expatriation blood flowing through my veins. In Celebration of my grandfather's 85th birthday, I decided to stroll down memory lane to talk with him about his experience overseas. Our conversation reveals the untold story of his relationship in Spain, which was an enchanting tale that perfectly encapsulates the theme of the season relationships abroad. As we bid farewell to Season 4, I invite you to join me on this final episode, a heartfelt tribute to my grandfather and the profound impact of his relationship, formed across borders and essentially resulting in my coming into the world. It's a journey filled with cherished memories and heartfelt connections. Want to continue this conversation? Subscribe to the (A)Broad in Education newsletter. SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

For those of you who've been rocking with (A)Broad in Education for a while, you vividly remember Episode 43, A Romance Scam from Abroad. It was such a pivotal life experience that I shared the story publicly, even in an article with Travel Noire. Part of that experience was connecting with other women about their relationships abroad and I mentioned before that the previous episodes were recorded in 2021. Well, it's been three years post-scam, and two years post-recording, so I decided to reach out to Nichole @thesoulfulexpat for a semi-quick check in to discuss how things have changed about relationships abroad, how they've remained the same, and even evolved. Her idea about showing up for ourselves and learning to become our own relationship gurus is golden and you'll definitely appreciate it listening about it in this conversation.  Connect with Nicole on Instagram: @thesoulfulexpatWant to continue this conversation? Subscribe to the (A)Broad in Education newsletter. SUPPORT US: Want to Contribute to (A)Broad in Education?1.

Welcome to the first episode of Relationships (A)Broad. It's a series where I take you through individual stories from Black women who transnationalized their relationships while transforming their understanding of what it means to love and be loved. This week I'm joined by Carolyn van es Vines, author of the book Black and (A)broad: Traveling Beyond the Limitations of Identity. In this episode, Carolyn and I discuss her book and the complexity of her decision to migrate to the Netherlands with her Dutch boyfriend, now husband, Vince.  At the crux of this episode, Carolyn expresses the need for Black women to travel the world in order to process and unpack their identities to (re)imagine what it means to be a strong Black woman.   Carolyn is an intercultural expert who believes in the power of journaling and declares that "Journaling slows us down so that we can start paying attention to how we're feeling, eventually without judging either the feeling or ourselves." If you want to engage in an "effective way to practice mindfulness," join Carolyn at her virtual Journal With Me  session on September 11, 2021 at 8am CST. You can register here if you're interested! I'll be there!   (A)Broad in Education is produced by Tiffany Lachelle Smith, Music by Reallionaire Jream. You can access Lady Justice on his Post Cards Album.

How did there come to be so few African American educators in the US PK-12 system? In 1950, half of all Black professionals in the United States (US) were teachers, compared to less than a quarter of white professionals (Cole, 1986). Yet, according to the National Center of Educational Statistics, of the 3.8 million teachers in the US teaching profession during the 2017/18 school year, African American teachers only represented 250,000. African American teachers are entering the education system, but factors contributing to why we leave are at the center of many educational scholars' research agendas.   In partnership with the Community of Scholars Program (COSP) at the University of Minnesota, in this episode, listen as Tiffany Lachelle takes you through her attrition story. She reveals details about her decision, and the decision of some other African American teachers in the United Arab Emirates, to leave the US  PK-12 profession for teaching opportunities abroad.

SHOW NOTES: This week on (A)Broad in Education is Dr. Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor, associate professor at Smith College. In this episode, we discuss her current book, Colored Travelers: Mobility and the Fight for Citizenship before the Civil War, and her upcoming book, a memoir that focuses on unpacking the “N-word.” RESOURCES: Flourish in the Foreign with Christine Job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-2BEuY2EoU&t=4s Access your Linear Life Timeline here: http://eepurl.com/hkD3H9 Dr. Elizabeth Pryor's Selected Publications: Colored Travelers: Mobility and the Fight for Citizenship before the Civil War (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2016). “The Etymology of [the N-word]: Resistance, Language and the Politics of Freedom in the Antebellum North” in the Journal of the Early Republic, 36 (Summer 2016), pp. 203-245.

Richard Pryor on the Sunset Strip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u5mwcMgh0Q SOCIAL MEDIA:Facebook: Elizabeth Stordeur PryorIG and Twitter: @pryorhistoriesBIOGRAPHY: Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor specializes in 19th-century U.S. history and race. Her first book, Colored Travelers: Mobility and the Fight for Citizenship before the Civil War, is a social history of black activists who, long before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, fought against segregation on public vehicles. Pryor argues that their protest elevated the cars, compartments and cabins of public transportation to the frontlines for the battle over equal rights in the 19th century. Her essay, “The Etymology of [the N-word]: Resistance, Language, and the Politics of Freedom in the Antebellum North,” won the Ralph D. Gray Prize for the best article of 2016 in the Journal of the Early Republic. Her next project, inspired by the article as well as her teaching at Smith College, is a historical and pedagogical study of the n-word framed, in part, by her experience as a biracial woman in the United States. In the classroom, Pryor is interested in questions of citizenship, race and racism and the history of U.S. slavery, looking carefully at how enslaved people's histories are remembered and who remembers them. Her classes are designed to help students make connections between the anti-blackness of the past and in the present. She is a recipient of a 2011 student-government teaching award and, in 2016, the Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching at Smith.

SHOW NOTES: This is the fifth episode in the EDpat Literature Review Series, which focuses on documented literature that centers that Black EDpatriate and black travel narratives. This week we’ll hear from Dr. Karyn Flynn, an Associate professor in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the Department of African-American Studies Program at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Flynn received her Ph.D. in Women's Studies from York University, Toronto, Ontario. Her research interests include migration and travel, Black Canada, health, popular culture, feminism, and diasporic and post-colonial studies. We discuss her book Moving Beyond Borders: Black Canadian and Caribbean women in the African Canadian Diaspora, which was published by the University of Toronto and won the Lavinia L. Dock Award from the American Association of the History of Nursing. We also discussed Dr. Flynn's current and second book project that maps the travel itineraries of young Black EFL teachers across borders. This is significant because Dr. Flynn wrote the forward for the book TrailBlAsian: Black Women living in South Asia, which includes narratives from some Black EFL teachers in South Korea. If you haven’t listened, be sure to go back to episode 39, an interview with TK Mclennon, the curator of the book Trailblasian and episode 41, an interview with Kenya Evans, one of the book chapter authors. I hope you all enjoy the episode as much as I do. Without further delay please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Karen Flynn.

SHOW NOTES: In the previous episode, I shared a story about my recent personal experience in a romance scam with Kevin G. I received several responses from personal stories to those who simply wanted to express support. Thank you. In this week’s episode, rather than focusing on how to avoid a romance scam, I came together with K.D. Caldwell, the author of the book When Swiping Right Went Wrong to discuss the “how and why” as it relates to both of us finding ourselves entangled within similar situations— romance scams initiated over dating apps. BRIEF BIO: K.D. Caldwell (she, her, hers) is a New York based counselor, academic advisor, and business owner. Featured on multiple news outlets and at your nearest event with her Photobooth business, writing a novel was always on her bucket list. With her latest book When Swiping Right Went Wrong that dream became a reality. When not absorbed in the latest gripping page-turning book, K.D. loves cooking, working on her businesses, and traveling the world.

SHOW NOTES: Because of my experience teaching abroad, I’ve been approached by many people interested in tips for navigating the international school market. There are many recruitment agencies and resources out there so I’ve developed a series of themed episodes called The Aspiring EDpat Toolkit. Through conversations with EDperts, experts who provide details and resources about education abroad, these episodes are where you want a pen and paper handy because there is a lot of useful information shared. This week’s episode is with International School Services (ISS) a nonprofit organization well known in the international school market. I spoke with Laura Light, the director of global recruitment, Dana Specker Watts, the director of research development, and Joanna Lombartni, a recent employee at ISS, to discuss the benefits that ISS offers to assist with searching for opportunities within educational occupations abroad. They also shared a bit about their personal experiences within teaching abroad. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation.

SHOW NOTES: Before you listen to this episode, if you haven’t had a chance, go back and listen to Season 3, Episode 39, which is an interview with TK McLennon about her idea to curate the book TrailBlasian: Black Women Living in East Asia. In that episode, TK and I talk a bit about her life and how the idea of the book came to fruition. The previous episode provides more context to this week’s episode, an interview with Kenya Evans, who authored one of the chapters in the book. Kenya is from Wisconsin and she talks about her past and present journey of being an international educator and discovering ways to begin and continue her journey as an EDpat. Without further delay, here is my conversation with Kenya Evans. BRIEF BIO: Kenya (she, her, hers) is a Milwaukee-bred writer turned world-traveling ESL teacher who loves to do the dougie and nene when she’s not breaking down phonics. Her career began in nonprofit marketing. Since then, she’s flown the coop, in 2013, to move to South Korea. She has also lived and taught in Saudi Arabia and currently lives in Colombia. Seven years and 30 plus countries later, she has learned a lot about herself, people, and the world.

SHOW NOTES: This week’s episode is an episode swap with Carl Hill, the host of The Black Expat Podcast, along with his business partner Patrick, co-host of Six-Packs with Expats. In this episode, we mimicked somewhat of a modern-day version of James Baldwin and Margarette Mead’s discussion called A Rap on Race, which I briefly shared a snippet of in Episode 5 with Brian Cadogan. Rather than discussing race generally, we hone in on the notion of the blue passport privilege and our own interpretations of what it means to be Black and Abroad specifically from Carl and Patrick’s Taiwanese perspectives, and in the UAE, from my perspective. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Carl and Patrick.

Show Notes: This week’s episode on the podcast is an interview swap between myself and Dr. Marvette Lacy, who is a dissertation writing strategist. Dr. Lacy assists and supports doctoral students in pursuit of completing their doctoral degrees and she was my first writing coach. While I was writing for my preliminary exam, she was an amazing asset for breaking down the process. She also mentioned, “Tiffany was my second client ever. When I started my coaching business in the fall of 2017, we were working together on her exams and part of her exams was writing her literature review. We did that for a couple of months.” In this episode, “Dissertation Research Abroad,” Dr. Lacy interviewed me about my current dissertation research about conducting data collection in the United Arab Emirates. This is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to share my work in this manner. Without any further delay, enjoy my conversation with Dr. Marvette Lacy.

SHOW NOTES: This week on the podcast is Leah Ward, the community coordinator at the University of Dayton, Ohio. This is the second episode within the series the EDpat Literature Review and today, you’ll hear a conversation between Leah and I about her chapter titled Swiss Miss: A Story of Surviving Abroad. Leah’s chapter is one of eleven chapters in the book The Table: Stories from Black Women in Student Affairs, which is a collection of Black women’s voices who discuss their experiences within various roles and at universities. I am so excited about this interview with Leah because the entire time I spoke with her I kept thinking about the quote that James Baldwin said to Nina Simone “This is the world you have made for yourself, now you have to live in it.” As Leah took me through her experience as a Black woman in Switzerland, I realized that the universe had brought Leah and I together because at that same time, I was reading Nina Simone’s autobiography and learned that after she left Liberia, she moved to Switzerland so that her daughter could continue her education. In contrast to Nina Simone’s story, Leah applied for a position as a student life coordinator during her time at Virginia Tech. The position required that she assist a group of study abroad students in Switzerland. With the intention to assist the students, in actuality, she found herself within cultural and racial tensions which involved being an African American woman in a small Swiss village. Without any further delay, enjoy my conversation with Leah Ward.

On October 9, 2020, I read a post on Facebook written by Brian C. Cadogan II. At the time, he wrote, "I have been in the UAE for two months. The experience has been freeing but I am feeling anxious. An anxiety that I have not felt in a while. A tightness in my chest has had my eyes watery and my mind racing. Physiological I am uneasy. I am fearful. Fearful of returning to the US. You see, here in the UAE my skin color doesn’t matter. I am seen as an American, which is weird because in the USA I am Black first, male, and a close second and somewhere down the line, I may be looked at as an American. Being here in the UAE I feel safe physically and more importantly, mentally. I have not fit the description of someone who has committed a crime. I have not been followed while in the mall. I have not been asked if I was the security in the school I work in. I have not been asked what I’m doing while minding my business."In this episode, Brian discusses not only his journey as a Black male in Abu Dhabi, UAE, but also his journey as a school counselor in Chicago and Maryland, USA. BRIEF GUEST BIO: Brian Cadogan II (he, his) has been a school counselor for 17 years in both middle and high schools. His experiences led him to an international position in Abu Dhabi, UAE where he is the 8th and 9th-grade transitions counselor at a private school. Brian graduated from Hampton University with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and later earned a master's degree in the School of Counseling from Long Island University in New York and a Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration from Northern Illinois University in Illinois.

SHOW NOTES: Today’s episode is the first within a series that I’ve titled the EDpat literature review. Threaded throughout the various episodes within Season 3, you’ll hear the voices of Black researchers, bloggers, authors, and others who have written some form of literature that centers notions of the Edpat— those who work within various ventures within education outside of their home countries. In this episode, you’ll hear from Johnnie Jackson, a doctoral student in Educational Leadership and Administration at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He is also the Diversity and Equity Supervisor at Marion City School District. His research article, Meditating Gunrunner Speaking, Part 1: A Black Male Journey Teaching in South Korea was published in Educational Studies: A Journal of the American Educational Studies Association in September of 2016. I had an amazing conversation with Johnnie about his experience teaching in South Korea and also his lived experience, which inspired many sections of the article. Keep in mind that this episode was recorded through video chat and within certain areas, due to fluctuations within internet connectivity, the sound is distorted. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Johnnie Jackson. Brief Guest Bio:Johnny Jackon (he, his) is a teacher educator by training. He is a critical race theorist and abolitionist by practice. Currently serving in his home community as an equity and diversity supervisor for city schools, he believes that education for Black liberation is possible when centering autobiographies of Black radicals. Traveling to countries outside of the USA has given him a good sense of how the African/Black diaspora is creating Afrofutures for the past, current, and future generations.

Show Notes:This week on the podcast is Simone Gbolo, who has several roles at the University of Minnesota. In one role, she serves as the executive director of the Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Program with the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. In the other, she is a PhD student in the Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development program in the College of Education and Human Development. In this episode, Simone speaks not only about her work with underrepresented students but also her current work with encouraging students to domestically and internationally pursue areas within the public sector. Alongside her professional and personal pursuits, she has also developed a study abroad program in Ghana, where she serves as the lead guide for a group of undergraduate students each year. I’m so excited to share this episode with you all because Simone is not only an amazing scholar and activist but she is also my friend-league— meaning she’s both my friend and colleague. A note before listening, this episode is a bit on the longer side so keep in mind that the attention span of humans is less than that of a goldfish so try to listen during your commute or while exercising if that helps!

SHOW NOTES: I’ll share a short story about why this week’s guest on the podcast is significant. On April 24, 2019, at least three of my MinneSNOWtan friends sent text messages and emails to me about a recently released video from PBS News Hour. The title was about teachers on the brink. Now, what’s interesting is that my dissertation research focuses on AA teachers who left the US K-12 schools for educational opportunities in K-12 schools in the UAE so when my friends heard Nathan’s discussion during this interview, they instantly reached out to me with an urgency to listen. When I listened to this interview, the part that struck me most is basically what you’ll hear me discuss with Nathan Gibbs-Bowling, the guest on this week’s episode. My personal reasons for wanting to connect with Nathan do not come close to describing the complexity of his career as an educator and educator advocate. Not only is Nathan the 2016 Washington State Teacher of the Year Recipient, one of four finalists for the 2016 National Teacher of the Year competition and co-founder of Teachers United, he has also been published in the Washington Post, Seattle Times, Huffington Post, and US Department of Ed Website.Although the basis of the PBS News hour interview was about teacher attrition and factors that negatively impact teachers to leave US K-12 schools, Nathan announced his decision to leave the school he had been in for over a decade for a school in the UAE. After I listened to the interview, I reached out to Nathan on FB and informed him that I would be in the UAE and would love to connect with him once there. It was that connection that led to this amazing interview. Without further delay, here is my conversation with Nathan Gibbs Bowling.

In this episode, Tiffany Lachelle compiles a short compilation of the 19 episodes within season 2.

SHOW NOTES: Six degrees of separation has nothing on the conversation between Whitney and I. We met over Facebook from a post where I inquired about African American EDpats living in the UAE. While conversing, I asked, “Do you know this person”… “Yes, we went to the same HBCU and had the same professor.” “Do you know this person?” “Yes, and a few people that I attended school with also live and work here in Dubai.” I left this episode with the following thought: The deeper you go into the unfamiliar, the more familiar things become. Whether people, places, customs, or traditions, through travel, you can always find pieces of yourself around the globe.

The first question that many Black women ask before traveling or moving abroad is, “what hair care products will I need to bring with me?” In this solo mini-episode, Tiffany mentally travels back to Morocco to reflect on the complexity of taking care of her hair while abroad. While Tiffany was prepared with hair-care products, she found herself unprepared for the change of environment. After a self-diagnosis of scalp psoriasis, she had no choice but to get a little creative in order to overcome her hair issues abroad.

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Robinson speaks about her project #WEGLOBAL, which investigates African Americans living abroad. You can access the survey here: https://www.aalivingabroad.org/According to the website:African Americans have traveled globally and lived abroad for centuries, but only part of their story has been told. There have been ebbs and flows of this voluntary movement, but we are currently witnessing an unprecedented level of travel and expatriation. While there is a growing literature on Americans abroad and some research on African Americans who lived abroad historically, there is sparse data on African Americans currently living overseas. There is a need for a comprehensive, scientific study of this unprecedented migration. In addition, it is important to disseminate the findings from this research in ways that reach a broad audience. That's where WeGlobal comes in.If YOU are an African American currently living abroad, please contribute 15 minutes to completing this survey! Feel free to pass this survey along to other African Americans living abroad as well. It is available until December 2019.

If one more person mentions Amanda Bates, I’m going to social media stalk her and reach out to her myself… which is exactly what I did for this episode! Amanda is an amazing and intelligent woman who identifies as a Third Culture Kid. Growing up in both Cameroon and the United States, she discovered many internal gems, which impacted her career. Her love for cross-cultural encounters inspired her strong interest to "blacken up" study abroad resources. Seeing that there were few to none, she developed The Black Expat- an online platform that centers conversations, resources, and real life experiences from Black Expats that engage globally.
