What does it mean to belong when you’re constantly navigating multiple cultures, identities, and expectations?
In Beyond Culture, I’m joined by Urmi Hossain—author, speaker, podcast host, and finance professional—for a rich conversation about identity, third-culture experiences, and the quiet labor of self-definition. Drawing from her book Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth from Interracial Struggle and her podcast Stories Beyond Borders, Urmi shares what it means to grow up between cultures, languages, and worlds—and how that shapes self-worth, leadership, and resilience.
Together, we explore culture through a disability justice–informed lens, unpacking how systems, norms, and expectations impact whose identities are affirmed and whose are questioned. This episode invites listeners to reflect on migration, belonging, and the courage it takes to define yourself on your own terms.
If you’ve ever felt “too much” of one thing, “not enough” of another, or caught between worlds, this conversation is for you.
