I wouldn’t. I once moved from the Philly area to Kansas and it was a horrible idea. I just don’t have any faith in southern or most Midwestern states for that matter. Not in this political and economical landscape.
Amber Ruffin’s “You’ll never believe what happened to Lacey” provides some insight into growing up Black/minority in Omaha. I’d only go if I was assured I could find a progressive, inclusive cocoon community for myself and family. To me, growing up loving who you and your family are is so critical to lifelong self confidence, it takes priority over a job. We moved our biracial kids to Kansas for 7 years (elementary, middle school and some high school), but had that cocoon community in family who live there and the friends we made through work, school, church and sports. We intentionally lived in a politically pink suburb of KCMO and sent the kids to public schools that had racial and economic diversity. Our kids thrived, but opted to not go to KU, so we returned to CA when they were in high school to qualify for in-state tuition and help them build roots here. Tough time to move, but looking back, we all feel it was the right move for our family.
