CULTURS
by Elleyne Aldine
CULTURS explores how growing up across cultures, countries, and identities shapes who you become. Hosted by Elleyne Aldine, each episode is a conversation with someone whose life spans worlds. CEOs, artists, scholars, coaches, and everyday people who grew up between cultures, countries, and identities. How did moving between worlds make them think differently? Lead differently? Love differently? What did it cost them? And what did it give them that nothing else could? If you carry more than one language, more than one kitchen, more than one way of seeing the world, this show was made for you. You're not between worlds. You're the bridge. New episodes weekly.
