Being Black in China is a struggle. Discussing racism, discrimination, etc. is never an easy topic to open up about but a bunch of Black expats and myself decide to share our experiences. I hope that you watch this video with an open mind and understand that the Black experience in China has its share of negatives and positives.

If you are a black person and you plan to come to China, or you are just wondering what it's really like for Black expats living in China, this video is for you.

To support & watch other Black expats living in China and sharing their lives, check out some of the people featured in my video:
