On Black Womanhood and Migration in Lisbon is a new article by award-winning writer Christine Job who I interviewed on Ep 177 that offers a thoughtful, grounded exploration of how Black women experience migration beyond the Instagram-friendly fantasy narratives.  It draws on interviews conducted during her artist residency in Lisbon to interrogate assumptions about Portugal as a utopia and to center the real, layered histories of Black Lusophone and African diasporic communities.  This piece is a reflective invitation to rethink migration as a pathway to embodied wellness, dignity, and belonging, while honoring the complexity of Black identity, place, and movement in today’s world.

Visit Egypt with Nomadness Travel Tribe. I interviewed Evita Robinson on Ep 96, the 2x Emmy-winning storyteller who founded Nomadness Travel Tribe for Black and Brown world travelers 15 years ago. This trip to Egypt in 2027 will be the final Nomadness trip, the end of an era, and a truly special one to join.  See the full itinerary and Reserve Your Spot Here.

7 Beats Per Minute is an award-winning documentary about Chinese-born freediving champion Jessea Lu who I traveled with for 4 months and interviewed on eps 214 and 215. The film traces her deeply human journey, including the moment her life nearly ended as she blacked out for four minutes during a 2018 depth attempt–and then returned to the sport that almost killed her to confront both physical limits and personal traumas en route to becoming the #1 female freediver in the world.  Captured with stunning underwater imagery, it’s a thrilling sports journey and an immersive portrayal of courage, vulnerability, self discovery and the meditatively transcendent pull of the ocean.  Watch the Trailer.

In Part 2 of this interview, Taylor Wallace reflects on how her deep connection with Japan shaped her worldview and confidence as a global traveler, sharing stories from Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and the cultural experiences that made the country feel like a second home. She then opens up about her entrepreneurial journey, the sale of her startup while living abroad, and breaks down her concept of the Fit Founder Lifestyle.  She offers insights on balancing business with health, travel, and intentional living while building a career on the road.
