Where’s Home? In one sentence, a third culture kid is someone who can’t answer this question … There’s a popular meme that reads, “Someone asked me where I’m from, now I have to explain.” It might seem trivial, but it gets to you, it gets to you when your whole life you question the idea. Belonging is a big part of being a human being, people gathered in tribes … I’m sure an anthropologist can explain this much better than me, but there’s always been a desire for belonging.
Gate37 founder, Nasri Atallah, is a British-Lebanese writer and publisher and talent manager. Last year he gave this talk at the SHARE conference about Third Culture Kids, and outlining the idea behind the publishing project, as well as the web documentary The Flying Publisher.
