How Nelson Mandela Taught Me To Use My Difference To Make A Difference As A Third Culture Kid

Society needs to do better and it starts with us. We can’t afford to think our differences are a negative thing. No we must embrace them! I started www.uydmag.com and the “As Told By Nomads” podcast for this very reason. I wanted to create platforms that showed us what it was like to live in different cultures while promoting the idea of thinking outside the box. I believe that in order to develop the next set of global leaders, these are two concepts that need to be embraced. Diversity and multiculturalism is the new normal so it’s time we stop denying it. Let’s do better. Let’s use our differences to make a difference. Hear more of my thoughts here or watch below.
