SHOW NOTES:
Before you listen to this episode, if you haven’t had a chance, go back and listen to Episode 39, 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.
