A little bit about me. I'm black, oh, you guessed that from the title, didn't you? And I'm now living in, that's right, London. Moved myself, lock, stock, and no, not quite, barrel, over here for a job and to check things out on this side of the pond (ever notice how the people who use that phrase always look so self-conscious and try to shrug it off with a laugh?).
It's great. No big complaints so far. I'm really digging the scene, so then I thought, yo, wouldn't it be great to blog it. I mean this lil blog won't end global poverty or contribute to peace in the Middle East (would be great if it could) but it might be helpful to some and might even give the one or two who read it something to think about - so here I am.
Black Expat isn't my first attempt at a blog but it will be the first where I discuss race and the black experience as I live it a lot more. But wait, don't stop reading yet, I'm also going to do fun things - you know, like reviews of new books by black authors in the UK. What? Not exciting enough? Ok. Well, I'll be giving tips on the best things to see if you're visiting this great city (just voted one of the best in the world - how cool is that!). I'll talk about movies, shopping, theaters, clubs too, though they're not really my thing (too many young 'uns there with jittery manners). I'll give my take on current events, sports, actually on whatever catches my attention. So anything could become grist for the mill that will be Black Expat in London. Stay tuned and enjoy the ride!
