Can you find where you belong halfway across the world?
In this episode, Shreya Sharma shares her unique experience growing up as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and moving to various countries in the Gulf region before becoming a naturalized Canadian citizen, where she found her chosen place of belonging. She discusses the impact of colonial beauty standards, the caste system, and her intersectional identity as a queer woman of color on her sense of self. Shreya challenges traditional notions of "coming out" and reflects on her journey to Canadian citizenship, which has brought her a profound sense of belonging and liberated her to choose her own path. She poignantly articulates this newfound freedom in a powerful, poetic way.
