      Episode Summary

      On this episode, Matt passes the mic and, instead of interviewing the guest himself, he publishes an episode of the “Flourish in the Foreign” podcast, where Christine Job interviews Jackie Omotalde.  Jackie begins by reflecting on her first study abroad experience in Germany at age 16, and then talks about attending Spellman College and explains the impact of HBCUs. Next, she discusses her professional trajectory that led her to live and work in Ethiopia.  Jackie then shares her experience living in Indonesia on a Fulbright scholarship, as well as lessons from her time working in Silicon Valley.  She also reflects on nomading as a Black woman, dating abroad, and traveling the world with her daughter.  Jackie then discusses Black American vs. African identity dynamics, especially when living on the continent of Africa.  She also talks about learning and speaking foreign languages, and how living abroad fits into her overall financial plan.  Jackie then shares advice specifically for Black women that aspire to live abroad or who are already traveling the world.  And, finally, she reflects on how her “slow-mad” travel style contributes to her wellness.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT: www.TheMaverickShow.com
