Discussion Topic:

Social media and tech connects us across continents but for 3rd culture, diaspora, and mixed-heritage souls, it often becomes the place we search for home, belonging, stay connected with our loved ones across the globe and people who finally understand what it means to live “in between.”

1. How does social media and tech influence cultural understanding? Does it help us express all sides of who we are or pressure us to fit neatly into one culture?

2. Do online platforms bridge cultural divides — or amplify our differences? Where have you found your true connection? Where have you felt misunderstood or unseen because of your identity?

3. How has social media shaped your friendships, romances, or community-building across borders Have you built deep connections with people who share your hybrid identity — even if you’ve never met in person?

Looking forward to seeing you there for an insight discussion!
