Color has everything to do with it.

I cant omit the fact that the combination of me being beautiful, black and intelligent has everything to do with the complications Ive been facing in America, and let me tell you.... believe it or not I am the last to play the race card it has just gotten to the point that I cant ignore it. I watch my non white peers do things I couldn't do, in-terms of breaking rules and lacking professionalism, and they go scott free. It's the double standards that makes me unhappy.. its knowing that I have worked extremely hard to estrange myself from the stereotypes.. yet I'm still grouped in. Its knowing that if I don't make drastic moves.. this dynamic can only become increasingly worse.. as racial tensions in America  are visible and pronounced. One must be prepared to change themselves at times to change the world around them. these are some of the reasons... I need to change my environment. I also worry about what type environment this would be for my future children. I do not feel safe or comfortable raising them stateside.

The Realistic Blueprint

Once you have made the solid choice to move, it is time to put a plan in place. I've had so many factors to figure out. Because I already qualified for British citizenship, I had already navigated the biggest hurdle.Next I contemplated the appropriate amount of money I should save, what to do with my belongings and car,what to take, where to live in the U.K, and when to tentatively move. To assist with costs I began driving Uber in which I saved an fixed amount everyday. I figured the best time to be in a new place would be the spring because of the upcoming summer. So my tentative move date is March of 2016 (hopefully accomplished by the time you are reading this!)
Update: Jan 2017.... Plans were postponed until August 2017 due to a host of issues I had to navigate through.. First of all the sudden closing of my school in the fall of 2016. The loss of my primary job and car problems. However, this is a testament to resilience and my burning desire to see what it is really going to be like. I continued to wrestle with the choice, until the beginning of March 2017. I took a wonderful and insightful trip to Cancun with a close friend. It was then that I set the date and reconfigured my plan. I bought my plane ticket in April and booked an airbnb. I originally wanted to reside in the U.K for a least 6 months, but resolved on 4 months instead. I arrived August 1st 2018 and haven't looked back.
