In this episode, WTS invites a guest speaker, Natalie, an ethnically Chinese-Malaysian, born and raised as an Australian. She gets asked "where are you really from?" way too often and discusses the answer to this question. She talks about her family's roots and how growing up "without" those roots influence her. We link her story to how migrants often feel, especially feeling like we don't really belong or we don't quite fit in. We also juggle with not qualifying as "Indonesian" enough, "Javanese" enough, or "Malaysian" enough, or "Australian enough"
