Description
Living between cultures can have impacts on our self identity which can reinforce loneliness. Sonali migrated from India to Australia as a child. Ever since arriving she felt like she was stuck between two cultures - on one hand she was not Australian enough and on the other, not Indian enough. In this episode of We Are Lonely, Sonali meets with mentor Dr Quah Ee Ling, an academic who has her own immigration experience. Together, they work on strategies to explore Sonali’s relationship with herself, and her relationship with society.
