Markita Privott had the house, the money, and the career she was told to want. But inside, she felt like she was slowly losing herself.
At 52, she left the United States and moved to Mérida, Mexico, in search of a life that felt more like her own.
In this episode, she joins Crystle Johnson to talk about starting over, rediscovering herself through solo travel, finding unexpected community, and experiencing the kind of rest she struggled to find back home.

I'm Crystle Johnson, founder of Kinory®️, a global social dining community and belonging ecosystem for Black women. I spent over a decade as a DEI leader at Nike, Pandora, and Electronic Arts before building the thing I needed and couldn't find: rooms where Black women don't perform, prove, or shrink. Now I build them full-time, from dinner tables to retreats to a home base in Mérida.
If the conversation stayed with you, there's more waiting. Kinory's Liberation Starter Kit (https://bit.ly/liberationstarterkit) is a workbook for the woman who's ready to stop waiting for permission and start choosing herself. When you want to go deeper in person, our next retreat, Belonging, Abroad, is this November in Mérida. And everything else begins at kinory.co.
