This resonates with me deeply: no matter how different our backgrounds may seem, we are more similar than we think.

I too have wrestled with the dissonance between the education I received and the cultural values my upbringing attempted—sometimes unsuccessfully—to pass down to me.

Now, I find myself constantly navigating which values I want to pass on to my children and which generational traumas I am determined to break.

It’s a complex journey, not only in these globally connected times but especially for those of us raised multilingual and multicultural within immigrant families, who have since become migrants ourselves, raising yet another multicultural generation.
