#9 Anna Hamill
“Just dive in”
Today we speak to Anna Hamill, a small business owner of And Hope Designs, where Anna designs cards, stationery and homeware, working with local manufacturers to make her products. We talk about growing up as an English person in France, how to become part of a community, the power of walking, how your homeland can feel foreign, positive distractions, discovering the truth about ‘langue’ and hiding grapefruit, the awkwardness of correcting your English teacher, champ with spring onions and raclette with nutmeg, embracing being different, and of course, cheese.
For listeners not familiar with Third Culture Kids or TCK terminology, these are people 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.
