About this episode
A couple years ago, executive producer Adizah Eghan noticed an interesting trend on social media: everyone seemed to be living it up in Tulum, Mexico. Some were flocking there to have a good time, while others were seeking something much deeper; they wanted to escape racism and seek refuge with like-minded people. Adizah traveled to Mexico to experience the vibes of Tulum for herself — and also dig into why Black people are seeking refuge in a small fishing town south of Cancún.
This story was produced by Adizah Eghan, with editorial support from Kate Osborn, James T. Green, Annie Avilés and Stephanie Kariuki.
