ABOUT
I AM FROM PROJECT
Many cross-cultural teens have been asked: "WHERE ARE YOU FROM?" For most, there's no simple answer.
Languages shift. Countries change. The version of yourself that feels most "you" depends on where you are - and who's asking. The I AM FROM PROJECT is for that experience.
This is a space for Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs) - teens navigating more than one culture.
Whether you're a third culture kid, a child of immigrants, adopted, multicultural, or simply caught between worlds - if you've lived in more than one cultural environment, this archive is for you.
If that's you, your story belongs here.
