What does it mean to grow up between cultures and where do you call home when your identity cannot fit neatly into one box?
In this episode of Rhythm & Roam, Benef, Paul, and Trecia sit down with Urmi Hossain, an Italian-Bengali author, speaker, mentor, finance professional, and host of Stories Beyond Borders. Born in Sicily to Bengali parents and now based in Montreal, Urmi shares her powerful journey as a third culture kid navigating identity, immigration, culture, belonging, language, and the pressure of being shaped by multiple worlds.
Urmi is the author of Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth From Interracial Struggle, a book inspired by her experience growing up across cultures and learning to define herself on her own terms. Together, we explore the challenges and gifts of a multicultural upbringing, what it means to feel at home, and how to embrace the complexity of your unique cultural identity.
If you have ever lived abroad, immigrated, grown up in a multicultural family, or struggled to explain where you belong, tune in.
