In this episode, Tori introduces you to Shane Edmond who moved to Thailand in 2020 and has been a pillar of the community, leading programming on our community platform and now helping with the launch of our new coaching programs and travel packages.
Tori and Shane meet with Kam, Heather and Anna from Black In Portugal to answer questions about living in Thailand, what Ebony Expats is, and the direction we're moving into.
Black in Portugal, Inc was created to build community— bringing together the local Portuguese community, expats, and travelers to provide a soft space for each group to land. Founded by Heather Proctor and Kamra Clemons, the group serves as a resource to the community by providing support to expats to ease their transition, hosting regular events and meet ups, and highlighting black owned businesses in Portugal. Their full team includes Ashley Osborne, Event Manager, and Anna Sanders, Marketing Manager. Together, all 4 women have been curating experiences and serving the community since arriving to Portugal.
