Belonging, Bias, and Bayanihan: Lessons from a Third Culture Kid (Adult).
Today, I’m going to speak to you about something that I haven’t studied, but have a lot of experience in. It starts with a conversation that we all have quite often. Kat Morse believes that we should follow the road less taken, as this leads to many more adventures. Kat holds a Bachelor of Science in Brain and Cognitive Sciences - University of Rochester, a Juris Doctor - University of Illinois at Chicago Law School, and a Wine Law specialization - Universite de Reims. She is the first American, and first Asian, to be granted the title of Ambassadrice du Champagne from the CIVC and is also a Dame Chevalier de l'Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne. Kat has worked as an EMT, an attorney, a wine specialist, and an entrepreneur launching 3 startups. She currently works at the International Air Transport Association where she helps foster innovation and creates connections. Through this role she launched the first industry-owned travel tech accelerator, Accelerate@IATA, and oversees various innovation activities. Kat is most proud of her two awesome children and fantastic husband. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Interesting point about belongingness. From experience, when people ask "where are you from?" I always refer to my identity- origin such as birth place, nationality and where I currently live. Same thing with our child who's born to a Filipino mom and French dad, born in Malawi, raised in Uganda and Cameroon, now residing in Spain.
