Christina is an Indiana girl raised in Tennessee who moved quite a bit growing up. Her love for history books and American Girl dolls introduced her to people from different cultures and backgrounds at a young age. This was extremely helpful especially growing up without much racial and cultural diversity. Pai and his family immigrated to the U.S and lived in North Carolina. In High School, his family then moved to Tennessee. Growing up as a Third-Culture Kid came with its challenges and opportunities. Pai began to encounter the nuance of race and culture with the United States. We would love to engage with you all! Let us know what topics we would like for us to cover.
