Every Place Brings Out a Different Version of Me

What if growing up between cultures means never having one simple answer to who you are?For years, “Where are you from?” felt like Tala Worrell’s nightmare question. Over time, she became more comfortable with the fact that different places and different people can bring out different parts of who she is — and that she can’t control how other people perceive her.We discuss:• Growing up between cultures• Why “Where are you from?” can feel so loaded• Fitting in and adjusting to different people• How other people shape the way we see ourselves• Feeling at home around people with international backgrounds• How moving changes the way we see the world• Why Tala’s paintings literally change with the places she lives• Relationships when you have a multicultural background• Using art to understand identity when words fall shortThis episode is for anyone who has ever felt different depending on where they are, who they’re with, or how other people see them.Music licensed through Soundstripe.Code: YFFLPOUV0DMEC30Z, WLVIS3F00ZEZWULI, LIQPIOHJA6ISKOM3
