Published: May 10, 2023, 9 a.m.

In this exciting episode of White Label American, I have the pleasure of interviewing Beatriz Nour, a passionate podcast enthusiast who launched her own podcast, the Inbetweenish Pod. Join us as we delve into Beatriz's personal journey of navigating the challenging space of living between countries, cultures, ethnicities, and faiths. As a Brazilian-Egyptian with a French twist, Beatrice shares her struggles of finding a true sense of belonging and a place to call home. Throughout our conversation, we explore Beatrice's experiences as a cross-cultural kid, including her mixed cultural identity and the challenges she faced growing up in France without French citizenship. We also examine the importance of naming in different cultures and religions and the impact it has on personal identity.\n As we dive deeper, we discuss the common experiences of identity crises and feeling like an outsider among cross-cultural individuals. If you're someone who has faced similar challenges or is simply interested in learning more about navigating a cross-cultural identity, this episode is a must-listen.
