What is “Conscientious Emigration?”

Exactly what it sounds like.

In January 2024, I began offering support services for people who want to leave the US - primarily due to feeling targeted due to their identities - emigrate from the country with a conscientious approach to their impacts on their new homes.

Borne of our personal ethics around equity and environmental conservation and rooted in the experience of emigrating from the US to Mexico in 2022, “Conscientious Emigration” seeks to avoid the colonial approaches that often characterize “expat” services and to balance impact with contribution.

I also bring my skills as a lawyer, a policy analyst, and a storyteller to produce content about emigration that is pragmatic, accurate, honest, and hopefully, funny.
