Why This Platform?

Most discussions about identity and belonging focus on Western narratives—or are filtered through the lens of second-generation immigrants who have partially or fully assimilated.

But what about first-generation cultural and racial minorities—those navigating cultural friction firsthand?

The Story Behind

After years of navigating cultural transitions—both personally and professionally—I realized that silent adaptation and emotional withdrawal were not sustainable. Instead, I turned to cultural psychology to explore the diverse ways in which culture and ideology shape human cognition and behavior. To make these analyses more accessible, I use storytelling as a way to both process and communicate my findings.

While this platform was sparked by my personal journey, its mission has grown into something broader: inviting others to reflect and contribute their own stories of navigating cultural dualities.
