Curious About Me?

Hi, I'm Beatriz, your host! 

I grew up juggling four languages, three cultures, and two religions. Despite being Brazilian-Egyptian, I thought I was French as we were a Francophone household since my parents did not speak each other's languages.

It was only in my 20s that I started to embrace all the facets of my identity. The road was long and, at times, lonely. I created this space to connect with others who also embrace confusion and navigate multiple belongings.

  • Anyone can become a refugee. You are not immune. “So, who is this refugee? Well, once I was just like you. I had a home, I had roots, I belonged. Like you, I lived my life day-by-day, caught up in my own hopes, passions and problems. Then war came and everything changed.War gave me a new name, a new role, a new identity: refugee. Suddenly it was go, drop everything, run for your life. Leave your home, relatives, friends and run. It was only after I crossed the border I realised I’d lost more than my house and all my possessions. I’d lost my nationality, my identity, my name. Now I was refugee.” — Yusra Mardini . . . #inbetweenish #refugee #refugeeweek #letstalkaboutit #identitycrisis #wheredoibelong #whereishome #belonging #belong #whoami #culturalheritage #yusramardini
  • The glaring discrepancies in media coverage of conflicts like the war in Ukraine versus the genocide in Palestine and attacks on Lebanon are stark reminders of harmful stereotypes. The idea that certain ethnicities or groups are more “fit” for war is not only false but also incredibly damaging. Empathy and justice shouldn’t be conditional—human lives are at stake. Pay attention to the media you consume and how they portray different groups of people. It’s time to confront these biased perspectives and stand united against the notion that any group is less deserving of safety, peace, and justice.

  • In moments like these, when there is so much bleakness in the world, I want to remember to stay soft, to remain kind, to be open. It’s harder than it seems. But at the end of the day, we all share this space temporarily. We all look at the same sky, swim in oceans and seas that eventually connect, walk on land that was once just one massive island. Pale blue dot. Earth. Gaia. Terra. Dirt. Isn’t it weird that we all stare at the same sky no matter where in the world we are? We are all connected. Everything is connected. . . . #inbetweenish #everythingisconnected #belonging #whoami #wheredoibelong #crosscultural #atck
  • I guess we’re lucky if we get to experience this feeling in our lifetime. It implies we have been fortunate to experience different homes, or at the very least different dwellings and places of living. For some reason, this word, it reminds me of that famous quote, “it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.” Even though I’m not Welsh or associated to Wales in any way, I’d like to think anyone can experience this feeling about a place that mattered to them. Have you ever experienced “hiraeth”? #inbetweenish #untranslatablewords #wordsfromtheheart #welshculture #welsh #quoteoftheday #belonging #culturalexchange
  • Listen to the full episode on the inbetweenish on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCast, or wherever you get your podcasts! As a child, did you have to compartmentalize your cultures in order to fit into the outside world and embrace other cultures within your home? How did that affect your relationship with your cultures? What about today, in the life you’ve created as an adult, do you still compartmentalize your cultures? Or have you found an alternative way to embrace all your cultures simultaneously? #inbetweenish #foyermag #culturestewpodcast #belonging #nostalgic #culturalidentity #wheredoibelong #thirdculturekidsproblems #belong
  • Listen to the full episode on the inbetweenish on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCast, or wherever you get your podcasts! Have you ever revisited the house you grew up in? Sometimes, revisiting isn’t even an option anymore. Maybe the building no longer exists, has been transformed into something else, or another family lives there now. The places that housed us in our childhood will always hold so much meaning, yet we seldom mention them. In this little corner of the internet, feel free to share stories about those houses that sometimes became homes. 💛 #inbetweenish #foyermag #culturestewpodcast #belonging #nostalgic #culturalidentity #wheredoibelong #thirdculturekidsproblems
