Let's keep the conversation going and strive for a more inclusive and understanding society."Racism is subtle and sometimes you do not realize or others do not realize they are being racist because they just see it as that's the way it is. And that's why I think it's complex and it's not so easy to define. Because it has made it so complex."Bola, The Refreshingly Human Podcast, S7 E4
Did you ever really think about the implications on our identity growing up in a different country from the generations before us?Crossing the boundaries of culture can present significant challenges for children as they navigate the experience of being immersed in one culture at home while encountering a distinct culture in their broader environment. This situation often results in varying expectations and role models, which can send conflicting messages about social norms and have a complex impact on the development of one's identity.In this episode of "Refreshingly Human," Hannah engages in a conversation with TJ Wey about her upbringing in America as the child of immigrant parents. They discuss how zhe learned to selectively adopt aspects of zir family heritage and the dominant culture, emphasizing the following points:The profound impact of encountering racial profiling and micro-aggressions from a young age.The process of reconciling conflicting information about societal expectations as we grow up and its influence on our identity development.The significance of the #VeryAsian movement, which encourages individuals to embrace their Asian identity to the extent they desire and selectively incorporate elements from various sources.The changing landscape for multicultural children in terms of available resources that aid in integrating their diverse cultural backgrounds. "My Mom would say that I was her retirement plan. That's where I felt like I really had to unpick it. Because it's really easy to say, 'Here are the parameters to be a good Asian,' and follow that. However, when it starts hindering you from pursuing your own aspirations, you have to ask yourself, 'Okay, which aspects of this framework aren't serving me, and how can I forge my own path?'"TJ Wey, The Refreshingly Human Podcast, S7 E3
Have you had a conversation about the color of your skin growing up?Hannah Pillow did not, because she grew up in South Africa, where the color of her skin was ‘Normal'.

Curiosity and Tokenism: Joining a white family through marriage, Hannah encountered curiosity about their culture, often feeling like a representative of all brown people, which she felt was too much to place on her.Join Hannah in this thought-provoking and entertaining podcast as we embark on a journey of self-discovery, cultural exploration, and candid conversations.

Have you also experienced growing up in a community that strongly emphasized cultural identity?For those of us who have, we learned from an early age the societal roles and expectations imposed upon us as girls and women. Breaking free from those predetermined notions and discovering our authentic selves can be a lengthy process.In Hannah's case, this exploration led her to distance herself from her family, husband, and country of birth, embarking on a solo journey.Hannah Pillow engages in a conversation with TJ Wey, delving into her transformative quest for liberation, which involved breaking away from an Islamic family, becoming an entrepreneur in her chosen country, and establishing a company that empowers women to embrace greater freedom and possibility worldwide. Key elements of her narrative encompass:Growing up within an Islamic family, navigating cultural expectations for women, and navigating her complex relationship with her mother.Opting for marriage as a means of escaping her family, only to find herself trapped in another unhealthy environment.Emancipating herself from her cultural background through divorce and renouncing her religious affiliation.Discovering a genuine escape route by secretly pursuing a teaching qualification and acquiring a visa to leave her home country.Returning to her childhood surroundings with a life and identity she can genuinely be proud of, having crafted it on her own terms."There was very little room for me to be a human being growing up. There were so many things that weren't allowed because of this controlled environment that I was growing up in, because reputation was so important within the community. And reputation would often be disguised as wanting the best for me because of religion; that came with a lot of expectations that I had to be a clone of my mother. This is basically the influence of what I should be.” Hannah Pillow,S7 E1, Refreshingly HumanKeep up to date with Hannah and the podcast:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/releasingtheshouldspodcast/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HannahPillow12
