A Decade Overseas: Pilot

Explore the other edge of the sword – Jono delves into the cross-cultural intelligence TCKs develop from being exposed to multiple cultures during their development years. His life experience has been fairly one-of-a-kind and badass in hindsight, and he tells you why.

Why do third-culture kids (TCKs) have a mini panic-attack episode every time they're asked the question: "where are you from?" Taking it a few steps further: What even is home? What is belonging? Jono explores some of the challenges TCKs face in their experience, compared to their more localised peers.

If you can't breathe, I can't breathe. If you can't run, I can't run. If you can't be, I can't be. If you can't live, I can't live. If you aren't free, I'm not free. This much is on me; until all black lives matter, may mine matter all the less.  Click here for available resources to donate.
