    Ep 22: Guest Sen Zhan on Finding Ourselves as a Third Culture Human

    Ep 22: Guest Sen Zhan on Finding Ourselves as a Third Culture Human

    Sen is a lifelong immigrant and traveller who found solace after discovering the term “The Third Culture”. She started her journey on this planet in Daqing, China.



    As a result of the political unrest following the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacres, her family sought to make a new home in Canada. Since then, her path has led to her living in Calgary, Montreal, Wuhan, and Berlin.



    Sen is a storyteller who believes that when we tell our histories, we find the lost threads that lead us back to ourselves. By retracing our memories, we draw the throughlines of meaning that lead from the past to the present and draw us forward to the future.



    Her work in podcasting is her way to re-approach her past, aided by the bravery and wisdom of her diverse guests, who carry their Third Culture Asian stories with ownership and pride.
