The Life You Never Knew of a Biracial | Constance Elizabeth Hu | TEDxYouth@WuxiDSAS

Constance talked about how she struggled to reconcile her varied upbringing and how, in the end, she came to embrace her status as a citizen of the world. In a rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected world, she sees how everyone is grappling with their own sense of identity. Constance's unique perspective and inspiring journey towards self-discovery offered insights and inspiration to others on their own flights. Constance, a tenth-grade student at DSAS, was born and raised in Beijing as a biracial girl. Being biracial, she has encountered challenges with finding her identity. Is she British? Chinese? From a third culture? Or is she just a global citizen? Throughout her talk, she will share stories and experiences of finding herself perplexed in the whirlpool of diverse cultures and traditions. She will speak about her struggles with reconciling her diverse background and how she ultimately came to embrace her identity as a global citizen. In a rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected world, everyone is grappling with their own sense of identity. Constance's unique perspective and inspiring journey towards self-discovery will offer insights and inspiration to others on their own flights.
