Being Turkish in North Carolina and having diverse interests (like playing basketball and playing cello) gave me a unique experience wrestling with identity. Looking “ambiguous” like I do also meant that in most cultural contexts I was considered neither a complete insider nor a complete outsider. I learned to navigate that feeling and be comfortable in all contexts, while not necessarily housing my identity in any one context. Growing up a “third culture kid” has informed how and why I try to make every room I’m in one that is sensitive to the subtleties of inclusion.
