In Between Cultures
Senior Thesis
For my senior thesis at Suffolk University, In Between Cultures is a platform created for Asian Americans (as well as other Asians born in non-Asian countries) to share their stories anonymously of being culturally in between, dealing with self identity, and/or racism. This is a very personal and sensitive topic that many Asian Americans do not speak of often.
As a first generation Chinese American in my family, I have struggled culturally fitting in, and was rather someone who was in between. I created In Between Cultures so that other people like me can share their stories with what they dealt with growing up and issues from today. Not only being culturally in between, but stories of self identity and racism can be shared. In Between Cultures is a space for people to connect and understand each other. To my Asian brothers and sisters, it is okay to be different. You are not alone. We do belong. We belong in the in between because we are, Inbetweeners.
