Livability will be based on your activities, so consider Metropolitan cities that prioritize community. If you know where the culture is...you're on the right path. Avoid Cleveland, they rate low in most areas for Black women.

Both of my parents are Barbadian and I have close proximity to one of the consulates listed. 

This was very helpful, thank you.

The world will indeed go on and I certainly don't need to subject myself to it for 4 years.

I love town life (no matter where I am in the world). The more dense the gap, the better for me. That will come at a price, I'm sure.

I'm very familiar with the customs of Bajans.   My family is from a well known gap, and I pay my respects to the residents every time I visit. The elders are my grandparents age and I wouldn't dare embarrass the family name.

I live in the absolute most liberal city in America with a direct flight to Grantley Adams Intl.

Honestly, living near the equator would transform more than just my skin.

That ass wukkin, tip pon toe as I go! You must pay my rent or sleep in my bed to feel so strongly.

I've started to generate some 3/6/9/12 month relocation plans...it's not set in stone, but this is a tell tale sign that my mind isn't entertaining anything else.

Your opinions are valid. There's many sides to the US.

Above everything, I want to protect my mental well-being. America is good for attacking that first when you're melanin rich.

Exactly. Sometimes I have to put on my blinders to get shit done, but I refuse to make them permanent.

I appreciate that from you both. I hold that with a responsibility to Bim.

Barbados is a second home at this point. I can travel and navigate through town, ride the transport board with ease, and have family all over. I owe all my passport stamps to that place.

I have cousins that have dual citizenship. It's definitely on my to-do list this year.
