EP 65: David Thornton | Locker 37 | Case Closed
SHOW NOTES:
In memory of my dear friend David Thornton, I share this episode with a heart filled with sadness and joy. The essence of my sadness grieves deeply for a fallen EDPat while the essence of my joy beams peace for having created such a beautiful time capsule.
At the time we recorded this episode, my intuition made it very clear that it was too early to publish. It was 2020 and there was so much going on for David that I was led to simply file the content and leave it be. When I recently heard of his transition, I decided to search for the episode and listen to it again.
It's only now that I feel absolute peace sharing this story that he graciously shared with me years ago. It manifests today as a type of audio archive to share his humor, his laugh, and his charisma, all of which explain why he was loved by so many.

EP 64: Grandpa Richard Smith | A Trip Down Memory Lane
Welcome to the grand finale of Season 4. As we wrap up this conversation, exploring relationships abroad. I have a personal story to share with you, a story that weaves together the threads of my identity as a transnational commuter and one that gives detail about the generational expatriation blood flowing through my veins.
In Celebration of my grandfather's 85th birthday, I decided to stroll down memory lane to talk with him about his experience overseas. Our conversation reveals the untold story of his relationship in Spain, which was an enchanting tale that perfectly encapsulates the theme of the season relationships abroad.
As we bid farewell to Season 4, I invite you to join me on this final episode, a heartfelt tribute to my grandfather and the profound impact of his relationship, formed across borders and essentially resulting in my coming into the world. It's a journey filled with cherished memories and heartfelt connections.

EP 63: Nichole Stroud | The Soulful Expat |Learning To Be Your Own Guru | Reflecting on Relationships Abroad
For those of you who’ve been rocking with (A)Broad in Education for a while, you vividly remember Episode 43, A Romance Scam from Abroad. It was such a pivotal life experience that I shared the story publicly, even in an article with Travel Noire. Part of that experience was connecting with other women about their relationships abroad and I mentioned before that the previous episodes were recorded in 2021.
Well, it’s been three years post-scam, and two years post-recording, so I decided to reach out to Nicole @thesoulfulexpat for a semi-quick check in to discuss how things have changed about relationships abroad, how they’ve remained the same, and even evolved.
Her idea about showing up for ourselves and learning to become our own relationship gurus is golden and you’ll definitely appreciate it listening about it in this conversation.

Customer Reviews
Made for a broader audience
The episodes are both entertaining and informative. I know the primary audience for this podcast is African American teachers who may not have seen international schools abroad as a career path. But an even more important audience is white administrators and recruiters at US international schools overseas who may not always appreciate the importance of having a diverse teaching staff and the specific challenges their African American teachers can face.
A Voice for “Edpats”
When you are a POC who works in international education, sometimes you may feel as if this journey is a lot or you want to seek a connection. This show does exactly that by relating stories and experiences of life abroad within the work and creating relationships. If you ever thought about working abroad or currently out in the universe, this show is for you.
Great Storytelling
This is an insightful podcast, educational, engaging and entertaining. Definitely worth a listen.
