Khanyisa then decided to leave South Africa and start a career as an ESL teacher in South Korea. Additionally, her struggle with her sexuality that conflicted with her staunch Christian lifestyle became too much to endure.In Traveling While Black & Lesbian, Khanyisa takes us on a journey of how that decision impacted her life. We are visually transported to her life in Asia, Central America, The United States and SouthEast Asia. The memoir details her experiences as a traveling queer woman of color.
