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.

Natalie Wester: Mid-life Reimagined in Lourinhã

I'm so happy to share this episode of the Blaxit Global podcast. In this episode, I reunite with Natalie Wester who was featured in the Condé Nast article I wrote, How to Retire in Portugal: A Complete Guide, and our popular Moving Abroad Over 50 panel on our YouTube channel.
Natalie Wester is a former second-grade teacher and National State Teacher of the Year who retired from teaching as a second career at 59. A radical reinventor, permission-giver, and storyteller, she encourages midlife women to give themselves permission to change the life they're living so they can live a life they love.
By 60 she became a solo around-the-world traveler and recovering social media avoider. At 61, she launched The Hot Goddess blog for midlife women and started a "blackboard to bourbon" journey by developing a Midlife Reimagined Apprenticeship and becoming a whiskey distillery intern. At 62, she became an expat and now calls Lourinhã, Portugal home.

Season 7 begins June 19th. A powerful conversation about freedom, expansion, possibility, and the quiet awakening happening among Black women around the world.
Building a life overseas is about more than choosing a country.
It's about choosing yourself.

At some point, the question stops being, "Can I move abroad?"
And becomes, "What's possible for my life?"
Passport is where Black women from around the world come together to explore new possibilities, navigate life abroad, and create lives that feel bigger than the ones they were told to settle for.
Because the goal was never just to move.
The goal is to expand what feels possible.
