We are the Walk-About-Ladies, and we are here to keep it real!

Welcome to our very first podcast!

With the way the world is shifting, more and more Black women and their families are choosing to leave the United States. Yes, you heard us right—we are all leaving. Some are packing up for good, while others are just taking a much-needed break from the toxicity, the burnout, and the daily battles that come with just existing in certain spaces. Most of us are TIRED!

Now, before you start selling your belongings, booking that one-way ticket, and diving headfirst into your “soft life” abroad, let’s talk about the reality of it all.

✅ The good—freedom, new opportunities, a fresh start

✅ The challenges—culture shock, safety, visas, and things nobody warns you about

✅ The truth about making it work long-term

We’ve traveled over 100 countries across six continents, and we’ve seen it all—from the dream destinations that truly feel like home, to the places that look good on Instagram but might not be what you expect.

So, is leaving really the answer? Where should you go? What do you need to know before making that move?

Here are just some of the topics we’ll be diving into:

✨ Why so many of us want to leave in the first place

✨ How to prepare—financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally

✨ How to choose the right destination for YOU

✨ Staying wise, alert, and safe while traveling

✨ Healing from trauma and giving yourself grace on your journey

✨ Traveling with disabilities—making the world accessible for all

✨ How to travel on a budget and make your money stretch

Throughout all of our platforms, we promise to be raw, honest, transparent, and fully supportive.

This is not just about travel—it’s about freedom, healing, and finding a life that truly works for YOU.
