Black women-- we see you, hear you, and share your concerns post-election 2024. This week, Kendra and Kelli are joined by Roshida Dowe and Stephanie Perry, co-founders of ExodUS Summit. This organization hosts virtual and live events and workshops that show Black women ways to plan their ExodUS while fostering community. Roshida and Stephanie tell us where their go-to location would be if they had to make a quick escape from the United States, and they share their organization's 7-step plan that any Black woman can use to make their ExodUS a reality. As they note on the pod-- "go to a place where people will support your dreams."
