The month of May is Asian-American Pacific Islander month, but for those of us who might not see ourselves in these adjectives, I thought we could expand the description to TCA month - Third Culture Asian month!
So, for Third Culture Asian month, I’d like to share with you 3 back-to-back episodes that together frame the topic of the healing of intercultural and intergenerational conflict in the global asian diaspora community.
On the second of this 3-part series, we’ll hear from Iris Chen, Chinese-American author of the book “Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent”, and the different approach that she takes to parenting, and how some traditional Asian values can be better understood from a more holistic perspective.

Beyond Asian: Stories of the Third Culture
The Third Culture is what emerges at the intersection between your culture of origin, and the other cultures by which you’ve been shaped. <br /><br />Beyond Asian is a place for stories of global nomads with Asian roots, brought up in diversity. <br /><br />Together, we explore the interplay of our pasts with our presents, and our relationships with the multiple cultures we move in. <br /><br />These are more than conversations about Asian identity - they’re portraits of whole people - what keeps them up at night, what their hearts long for, and the impact they hope to have on their communities. <br /> <br />I’m your host, Sen Zhan, a Third Culture Kid born in China, raised in Canada, and currently based in Berlin. This series is a first step towards making peace with my own Asian background, and it’s my hope that other Third Culture Asians will hear themselves reflected in our stories. <br /><br /><br />New episodes on Sundays, every 2 weeks.
