Cultural Awareness Around the Globe
In an increasingly globalized world (aka, rise of the Third Culture Kids!!), cultural awareness is becoming an incredibly important skill that can help you navigate social situations with people from all different walks of life. Anyone who's been asked, "No, where are you REALLY from?" can attest to how lack of cultural awareness can lead to uncomfortable situations. Today, we discuss various ways we've experienced uncomfortable interactions as TCKs and unpack the power of storytelling on self-identity and cultural sensitivity.Follow Weirong! @joinrawcultureVisit Raw Culture's website! https://joinrawculture.com/Follow us on IG! @eatyourcrustpodSupport the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Whether it’s prolonging the life of our groceries, upcycling our glass jars, or trying to use less THINGS in general, we hope our small humble habits are undoing at least a little bit of environmental harm.Of course, we’re nothing compared to the sustainability role models that our parents often are, and these are just our personal journeys with sustainability, so please feel free to reach out to us on Instagram if you have even more tips for us!!
