Naelle Song is a content creator who grew up in Korea, the U.S., Canada, Morocco and Kenya. She speaks English, Korean, French and Arabic, and has been exploring topics related to her very multicultural life on her eponymous Youtube channel, 나엘쏭Naelle Song since 2017. I was very happy to meet a fellow Korean TCK who spent a third of her life on the African content.

In this episode, we talked about the cultural diversity of Africa, fitting right in at international school, parents of TCKs needing their own box, missing Moroccan spices, and having an affinity for that danceable, Arabic beat.

Sharon Choi is a filmmaker who became one of the most beloved faces of Oscar season when she interpreted for director Bong Joon Ho and the "Parasite" team in 2020. She's also a third-culture kid who, after spending two years in California as a young girl, had to relearn her mother tongue when her family moved back to Korea. She spent the rest of her childhood yearning to leave her native country, dreaming of one day telling her own story through the language of cinema.

It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Sharon about art, movies, American culture, living between worlds, childhood trauma, interpretation and finding the right words for our experiences, and building our ideal homes. 

As I mentioned at the end of the interview, I loved being in the space created by our dialogue. I hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Jean Go is a third-culture kid who grew up moving between Korea, the U.S. and Sweden. Since 2011, she's been based in L.A. working in the game industry as an artist, creating characters and concept art for videos games such as League of Legends. 

In this episode we talked about being the tallest kids in Korean school, art classes and learning about proportions from Western textbooks, struggling to fit in, playing online video games with friends in the metaverse, and finding a place to call home with neighbors who bring over cookies.

We didn't hang out much in high school but we should have; we have so much in common! If you're a TCK who grew up playing video games, this one's for you.
