Raising Third Culture Kids with Salome Mwangi
Join Ken and Michelle as they chat with Salome Mwangi of Mwangi Inc. Salome is a multi-lingual, multi-cultural Idahoan who uses these skills to foster better communication between the US and migrant communities as they navigate life together. She specializes in fostering connections through a shared sense of belonging. Along the way, she has evolved into a cultural broker, realizing that the culture behind each language bears weight in living life with cross-cultural relevance (salomemwangi.com) Salome shares a glimpse of her parenting journey of raising a child in what felt like a foreign culture and how she learned “We are more alike than we are different”. Learn how you can be authentically curious when learning about a culture other than your own.
