- Society & Culture
Is your answer to a simple “Where are you From?” anything but? Are you from both the East and the West? Do you feel that home is everywhere and nowhere? Can you relate to “them” but not vice versa? Does your mix of cultures, traditions, identities ever make you feel lost, in-between and voiceless?
Join Waseem, MJ and Rashed, as they explore third culture experiences and the perspectives that come from them. Growing up in a culture different from their parents, they share the same sense of in-between-ess that you do. No topic is taboo and all views are permitted, discussed and debated.
In each episode, we dive into historical and contemporary issues about living at the convergence of societies. We harness our differences to provide meaning for those without a sense of belonging; a home for those seeking a place in the world; a voice for the third-culture.
