Cinnamon is a Digital Marketing Strategist and serial entrepreneur who after her 40th birthday she decided to ditch the American Corporate Dream for a Life less ordinary. After the passing away of a friend, she decided to reassess what was important to her and what living and thriving meant to her.

She packed up and left the United States and moved to Lisbon, Portugal for a new life. As a solo traveller and Black ex-pat. Cinnamon is currently sharing her transition to ex-pat life as well as the experiences of other ex-pats on her Youtube channel, as she creates a community of Black ex-pats. Her goal is to encourage busy professionals to spend more time focusing on their personal goals and aspirations rather than committing to the restrictions and pressure of building someone else’s dreams.


She is launching her Portuguese Language school to help new ex-pats to be able to learn the language and live like a local in Portugal.
