Episode 38: First Gen Problems, Daily Nuances, and Being Mixed Race in the Age of the Internet with Sarah Tulloch

We’ve been exploring Black identity from all over Europe to the USA, but being mixed and being the first generation to grow up in America can be another challenge on top of everything else. Being first gen means being asked to bring American culture into your house as a child so that everyone else can learn how to assimilate. While at the same time, being told you need to be more like your immigrant culture behind closed doors. There’s always this underlying message that you’re not enough, and that you need to work harder to assimilate because you’re an outsider. So how do you balance the two? We spoke to a mixed-race, first-gen eldest daughter to find out how. Sarah Tulloch is the founder and the lead Podcast Production Manager at CCST (Content Creation with Sarah Tulloch).

There were so many rules and nuances that she had to learn all on her own, as well as defend herself from people who felt like they could decide who she was for her. But it’s her life, and she took control of it by living it her way. Listen to Sarah’s episode to hear all about how she found her self-confidence within multiple identities. Enjoy!
