Questioning the acceptance of belongingness
Questioning the cultural identity of questioning ourselves of
“who we are” and “where are you from”
To embrace the challenges of understanding “who we are” and
to have a strong knowledge of the understanding of otherness
Would moving in childhood bring a negative or positive affect
toward the child’s life?

Where are you from?
"Ummmm”
"I'm 'originally' from Korea, but I grew up my entire life
overseas. It's a hard question to answer.”
"I grew up overseas." or "It's a long story.”
“Please stop asking that question “where are you from?” I’m
sick of hearing that question because I dread answering that
question. I’ve been all over the world and I have not lived in one
country more than a year.”
12. Home is not a place but a feeling
It's a feeling of acceptance and happiness that you can find
around the world
I’m not Asian. Not Caucasian. Not Singaporean. Not American.
Not Asian Americans. I’m not your home town hero. I’m not a
dirty foreigner. I’m not Catholic or Muslim. I’m don’t look like
you. I don’t sound like you. I don’t think like you.
13. Chameleon Amy Hong
Identity has been always a struggle to figure it out
There are so many identities with different personalities
It can be related to everyone because everyone goes through
an identity phase
To me – I have always questioned myself about what my
identity is
14. Make stronger scenarios that has a solid story
Show why identity is really important to me
Need more iterations
