Episode 2: Growing between worlds: Lilo’s story
In this episode, Lilo, a British-Taiwanese teenager, discusses being born in Britain and having lived in the Czech Republic and Taiwan. Lilo shares what it’s like to grow up moving between countries, speaking multiple languages, tasting different kinds of food, and navigating identities that don’t always fit neatly into one box. Along the way, she has faced moments of stereotyping, but also the quiet beauty of belonging to more than one world.
Yet, what makes Lilo Lilo isn’t just her background or the countries she’s lived in. It’s her passions, her hobbies, and the everyday choices that define who she is, a reminder that a person’s story is never only about where they come from, but also about who they choose to be.
