Feel the Way You Feel: Shukura's TCK Return Stories to the United Kingdom - Episode 41
This episode is Part 2 of our interview with third culture kid Shukura Babirye, a travel and nature-lover from the United Kingdom who grew up in the United States and Singapore. After spending a pre-university gap year in Ecuador, her return to the UK was one she was nervous about, and even arriving at the airport produced anxiety. Without her mom or twin brother nearby, the transition to her UK university was a lonely one.

Listen to Shukura share her trial and error of finding friends and feeling of belonging, learning London slang, creating her own brown and black hikers group, and advice she has for TCK parents.
"Being a third culture kid is absolutely amazing. I wouldn't trade it for the world…but it can also be equally as isolating, and it's okay to have those feelings." -Shukura Babirye
