This episode of the Blaxit Global podcast features a 1:1 conversation with one of the co-founders of Black in Portugal, Heather Proctor.
Heather is a disabled United States Navy veteran and single mom, raising her teenage daughter in Lisbon, Portugal. Born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, Heather has lived all over the world including Japan and Mexico.
