Looks like you're all set for your interview with us.
Here's How to Prepare:
We'll need just 1 hour of your time.
We ask that you set aside 60 uninterrupted minutes to share your story. The conversation will be recorded for content repurposing via podcast and social media.
No need to get "camera ready."
We'll be have our conversation over the phone. Eventually, our goal is to capture Black Expat Stories on video. For now though, there's no need for you to get camera ready (yet!).
Share as much as you want to share.
The interview will be more like a conversation. Our goal is to share the most relevant and riveting Black Expat stories on the internet. That means we'll be asking you to share your experiences in narrative/story form. This also means you'll be doing a lot of the talking and we'll be doing the listening. So don't feel the need to prepare short and sweet answers. The more detail you can provide and the better you can paint the picture of your experience, the better the story!
