    Great video! Be sure to check your volume - it's low on your speaking videos, and you have a lot of important things to say.
    We are moving for a lot of the same reasons. Will be there in just a couple weeks - can't wait!

    Love this so much! Thank you for posting!
    My husband and I (and some of his family) are considering a move. I am mixed, his family is Haitian (and the most beautiful humans in the world). Several of us have mental health struggles so this is very encouraging. So many reasons to come and as time goes on, more and more reasons to leave. I don’t have kids, but if I did, the decision would be even easier. Good for you (and your son)! Hope to hear more from you. Be well!

      Thank you for the comment, Kristiaan! And thank you for sharing about your family. Moving to another country is a huge decisions, so it's understandable that you're still in the consideration phase. Wishing you and yours the best in your decision making process.

    I saw you on Driven Spice - glad you’re YouTubing. Thanks for the visa info, I’m a Cali woman too and am definitely moving my family abroad. However, I don’t live in Cali now but that will be my consulate office. The timing of everything seems to be tricky.

    What a great video and I am so happy for you. Lisbon is my favorite city in the world! I can imagine that the fear as a parent that something really bad that could happen to your child based on his race, just doesn't exist as in Portugal as it does in the US. You are also giving your son the opportunity to experience and live in a wonderful and welcoming culture. Also, he probably has learned a lot of Portuguese in a year. How is that going for him? Your happiness effects your child too. Congrats for having the courage to pick up and make the move! So many people dream about living in another country but you did it.

    Totally understand your travails and tribulations in a society ridden with systemic racial prejudices and discrimination against the black community and why you feel
    Liberated going to and living in Lisbon. Can’t wait to visit and tour Portugal, the people and culture are welcoming, simple and open. Best Wishes!!

    You better say it Julie!!! Many of your reasons you wanted to leave the US are the same for me. I got to live outside of the continental US and the way of life was soo different and slower paced than in the US. People were definitely more community-oriented and thought about the collective of the people when certain things came about. But this was an awesome video Julie! Can’t wait to see more videos soon!!!

    God bless you! YES! Liberation! I just retired, and I amd DONE with this US of A. Safety! A country where there are few guns instead of a country where there are more guns than people. I have free, high quality health care here in the US, and still, as a gay man I don't feel safe. The US has become something like the Twilight Zone for me. Just my feeling. Good for you. I'll be there to by the end of February, Covid permitting. Ugh! Cheers!
