#5 Isabell Chavez Vega
“Food is the entryway into myself and the world”
We speak to Isabell Chavez Vega, assistant editor in film/TV based in LA, United States. We talk about being a third culture kid and find out about Russian, Finnish and Peruvian culture and food traditions, fish, root vegetables and feelings of the forest, rootlessness and harnessing this as a strength, surviving vs thriving, being in-between spaces, following your gut, and the importance of community.
For listeners not familiar with Third Culture Kids or TCK terminology, these are individuals who were raised in a culture other than their parents or the culture of their country of nationality, and have also lived in different environments during a significant part of their child development years.
