Barbados



Why Barbados?
Described as the U.S. of the Caribbean, you’ll have no trouble fitting in Barbados. Its small size makes it easy to get where you want to go. Strong connections to family factor heavily into island life. Job prospects are limited, so working remotely or having enough retirement income works best. It’s one of those “everyone knows everyone” places, so safeguard your reputation closely while you’re here. Overall, it’s a great destination for Black Americans to feel right at home.
