So Many Different Perspectives: Shukura's stories about growing up in the U.S. and Singapore - Episode 40
This episode is Part 1 of our interview with Shukura Babirye, a travel and nature-lover and adult Third Culture Kid from the United Kingdom. Shukura and her twin brother attended British schools in the United States and Singapore because their mom worked at their international British schools in those two countries.
Shukura values the global perspective and access to service opportunities at her international schools. In Singapore, however, Shukura found it very challenging to be a young black woman in an elite Asian environment.
“Being black in some places in the world...can be quite challenging.” -Shukura Babirye
