About the Group

Ever felt like you belong everywhere and nowhere at once? Whether you grew up across borders, live in a new country, have a mixed heritage, or are in an intercultural relationship, you’ve found your tribe. If you see the world as one community and thrive in diversity, this group is for you!

Welcome to 3rd Culture Group! We are a global nomadic community of Third Culture Kids (TCK), Cross Culture Kids (CCK), global citizens and unity advocates uniting to share our cross-cultural journeys.

We believe in the magic of “1 + 1 = 3” where combining cultures doesn’t dilute identity but creates a hybrid, uniquely beautiful culture we can call our own.

A Third Culture Kid (TCK) is an individual who, having spent a significant part of their developmental years outside their parents’ culture, builds relationships to all of the cultures while not having full ownership in any.

A Cross Culture Kid (CCK) is someone who lives in or meaningfully interacts with two or more cultural environments for a significant period during their developmental years. These experiences often create a unique “third culture”, not tied to geography, but to shared identity, empathy, and global perspective.

What We Do
We host several themed meetup series designed to celebrate both connection and curiosity:

3rd Culture Talks: Deep, vulnerable discussions where we explore identity, belonging, and the living in-between. Have you ever felt like you belong everywhere and nowhere at the same time? What does “home” mean to you now?
Global Table: Monthly gatherings centered around food, stories, and traditions from around the world.
Unity Arts and Music: Experiencing the creative mindsets of people across the globe, where East meets West.
Unity Talks: Conversations and community nights that explore unity across faiths, cultures, values, and worldviews. We focus on shared humanity rather than division.

A note from Amirah

Welcome, dear alien 👽

I call my community my aliens. Not because we don't belong, but because we carry many worlds inside us that don't fit into stereotypical boxes. That's not a deficiency. That's a gift!
I'm Amirah. I grew up in Malaysia, I'm biracial (half Malay, half Indian) and neurodivergent, studied in New Zealand and the US, and now live in California. I felt like an outsider all my life, even in the country I grew up in. I felt most at home among international students, in nature, and in calm, sensory-friendly places. I realized I'd struggled to belong because I couldn't fully be myself.
So I started creating spaces where all of me could exist. I make East meets West music, blending traditional instruments like gamelan with cinematic sound. I design East meets West clothing that honors my roots while being modern, practical and easy to travel in.
What I was really searching for was connection: people who accept me, without needing to hide any part of myself. So I created the 360 Club by Amirah | A 3rd Culture Group, a home for everyone who lives between worlds, where East meets West through music, culture and fashion, and where you can connect with others who share the 3rd culture experience.

Be your true self, connect with people who celebrate you, and know you are not alone.

Be you,
Amirah
