EP 10: dEmetria lucas

on moving to ghana and galLIvanting the globe

In fall of 2024, Felicia Pride got to chat with OG blogger, author, podcaster, and world traveler Demetria L Lucas. Demetria shares how she decided to follow her heart across an ocean to the Motherland to find peace. Lucas’s viral and highly coveted global exploits under the hashtag #SEESOMEWORLD have thousands vying to join her on her next adventure. She digs into why she lets her younger self co-pilot her life alongside ‘Honey’ Demetria and has some sage advice for women that are looking to take a leap in their own life.
