Welcome to the Otherhood
The Otherhood is a home for the ones who feel “from” more than one place and not fully from anywhere. Here you’ll find honest stories, city notes, and spaces to connect with people who understand the in-between life.
Our Story
We’re Trice and Janice. We met in Chicago when a simple question at the door of a Black professionals meetup turned into years of friendship, city hopping, and “do you ever feel like you’re from everywhere and nowhere at once?” conversations. One of us left New York for Chicago, then Europe. The other left Chicago for love overseas.
The Otherhood is the space we built so women and kindred spirits who live between cultures can be seen, heard, and at home together.
What You’ll Find Inside The Otherhood
The Otherhood is not just a story, it is a set of spaces you can walk into. Some are quiet and reflective, some are loud and full of laughter, and all of them are built for women and kindred spirits living between cultures.
Expat-ish Podcast
Conversations and stories from the in-between: moving, staying, returning, and rebuilding. For anyone who has ever felt not quite from here, not quite from there.
Journal
Essays, reflections, and real stories about identity, love, work, and life between cultures. Less “how to” and more “this is what it really feels like.”
Trips & Retreats
Small, curated group experiences for rest, connection, and exploration with women and kindred spirits who understand the in between.
City Guides
On the ground notes from people who actually live there. How it feels in real life as a woman and a global soul, plus where to find your people.
Shop The Otherhood
Apparel and goods that carry the language of the in between. Soft, wearable reminders that you are not the only one building a life across borders.
Community
Online spaces, future meetups, and circles where you do not have to explain your whole story just to feel like you belong in the room.
Snapshots
Moments from journeys, in-between days, and the quiet scenes that make a life across borders.
