In this episode of Grace, Guts, and Grit, your host Kemi sits down with Dr. Mo to explore the invisible tightrope walk of cultural assimilation. From a four-year-old's secret love for stewed beans to navigating corporate America, they uncover the daily micro-negotiations of balancing your authentic self with the demands of a new environment. Discover why "just be yourself" is a trap, how to conduct a "friendship audit," and ultimately, how to achieve cultural fluency – a superpower in a multicultural world. If you've ever felt like you're living a double life, this episode offers a path to integration, not fragmentation.
