Halisi Vinson & Ricardo Crawley are recent immigrants to Portugal and the co-founders of Our Black Utopia.  They are managing Halisi’s parents’ care from abroad which further confirms their belief that the key to freedom, for Americans from the African Diaspora, is directly tied to financial freedom; everything else is secondary.

They are having the time of their lives exploring Portugal and helping others get a handle on their finances so that they can retire on time or maybe even early.

Chrishan Wright is a former corporate marketing executive turned global entrepreneur, storyteller, and Chief Freedom Advocate exploring what it means for Black women to build lives rooted in peace, purpose, wellbeing, and global possibility.

Through Blaxit Global, she shares honest reflections and practical insights on life abroad, reinvention, wellness, entrepreneurship, aging, and intentional life design beyond the borders of the United States.

After building a successful corporate career in the U.S., Chrishan made the decision to redesign her life internationally in pursuit of greater alignment, flexibility, wellbeing, and freedom. Following years of global travel and exploration, she relocated to Portugal, where she continues building a life by design — not by default.

Today, Chrishan has become a trusted voice in the global living space, inspiring Black women around the world to question inherited definitions of success and imagine more expansive possibilities for how they live, work, age, and move through the world.

Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Essence, EBONY, Condé Nast Traveler, HuffPost, and other leading media outlets covering global mobility, lifestyle transformation, and Black expatriation.

  • Hi! I’m interested in the Golden Visa program via Portugal. I hear its expiring in June! Do you happen to know any reputable contacts I can contact to learn the ins and outs of this program? Thank you! I’m SO glad I found your podcast. Listening only increased my desire to create alternate living opportunities for myself and my family. Thanks!

    • Hi Lynetta,

      Thank you for reaching out and for listening to the Blaxit Global podcast. Great news about your interest in Portugal. As you know, I am moving there and we have loads of resources to help folks like you make it happen. In terms of the Golden Visa Program, attorney Sandra Gomes Pinto who is a Portuguese attorney based in Lisbon is who I would recommend you reach out to. Be sure to mention Blaxit Global when you contact her. Here is her website. https://www.sandragomespinto.com/

      We also have a Portugal accountability group in our Blaxit Global Passport community. Please consider joining us so we can support you in your journey.
