A monthly publication for Black families doing the complicated, beautiful work of raising children across borders — what the world calls third culture kids, and what we just call our lives.
Read our free welcome issue first. Everything after that is the paid subscription.
Whether you're still planning your move or already raising Black children abroad, this is the conversation that doesn't exist anywhere else. Built from the inside, for the families living it.
The identity conversation. The school question nobody answers honestly. What home means when your child was born somewhere you've never lived.
Black expat parents navigating life abroad with children face challenges that no mainstream TCK resource addresses. How do you raise a Black child in a country that defines Blackness differently? How do you keep your kids connected to their culture when the community isn't around? What does belonging look like for a child who was born in a country you chose but they didn't?
These are the questions Black families raising kids abroad carry every day. The Village Abroad exists to hold them — with honesty, with humor, and with the authority of someone who has lived this life and spent a decade building a community around it.
