Episode 24: Redefining First Gen: EDpat Whitney-Amanda in Dubai

Six degrees of separation has nothing on the conversation between Whitney and I. We met over Facebook from a post where I inquired about African American EDpats living in the UAE. While conversing, I asked, “Do you know this person”… “Yes, we went to the same HBCU and had the same professor.” “Do you know this person?” “Yes, and a few people that I attended school with also live and work here in Dubai.” I left this episode with the following thought: The deeper you go into the unfamiliar, the more familiar things become. Whether people, places, customs, or traditions, through travel, you can always find pieces of yourself around the globe.
