Here you will find my loudest thoughts and creative writing pieces related to my experience, as well as those of others, of Being a Third Culture Kid (TCK), a Former Refugee, and a Progressive Christian who often prays with her pen.

Amplifying the Voices of Third Culture Kids, Global Citizens, and Refugees

Welcome to “Being a Third Culture Kid,” a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Third Culture Kids (TCKs), also known as Global Citizens. Through storytelling, I strive to illuminate my own and other TCK’s experiences and implications, aiming to change the narrative and empower each other to take up space in the world.

My mission is to showcase the beauty found in every person’s story, country, and culture, encouraging to share our unique perspectives and use them to build bridges and resolve our differences peacefully. As I navigate the world, I celebrate the richness of global citizenship, recognizing it as the universal currency that connects us all. Join me as we explore the real gems hidden in people in every corner of the globe, one blog post at a time.
