The Black Mérida Experience®

Discover a place in Mexico where Black culture thrives, traditions are celebrated, and new beginnings are embraced. Whether temporary or permanent, a move to Mérida offers refuge from systemic oppression while keeping you closely connected to assets in the United States. As a “stepping stone destination,” Mérida provides a supportive space to heal, thrive, and prepare for a move to places much further away like Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond. Black expats discover a sense of freedom and belonging in one of the world’s safest cities. Mérida offers sanctuary from familiar toxic environments. With its family-first culture, access to fresh non-GMO foods, affordable healthcare, safety, and a caring, respectful community, it is an ideal space for personal and collective growth. Whether you’re seeking peace, opportunity, or connection, Mérida provides the foundation to redefine your life today.
