Who's an outsider?

[Lily Pond]

Nice to meet you, Lani. I'm first-gen Asian American and Gen-X too.

I've been feeling like an outsider since I was a teenager. It feels good to hear that we are all outsiders one way or another.

[Lani V. Cox]

I’m glad to hear that, Lily. Thanks! We also have first names that start with the best letter of the alphabet. 😉

[Shondra Bowie Riley]

Gen X!! I knew we were twins 😂

[Lani V. Cox]

Whoohoooo! 🙌

"I believe we’re all outsiders, and that fitting in is overrated."

I agree 😊

[Lani V. Cox]

YAYYY. Just got to convince all those other people who are still trying to fit in and feeling sad about "not belonging". 😉

😮‍💨

We got some work to ahead of us lol

[Veronika Bond]

Nice to meet you too, Lani. I believe you're right. We are all outsiders looking to belong somewhere with someone.

[Lani V. Cox]

Thanks, Veronika. It's a topic that I think could bring more of us together.

[Veronika Bond]

I fully agree, Lani. I have explored the topic of being an 'outsider' a little in an earlier article called the 'Doublebind of Identity' https://veronikabondsymbiopaedia.substack.com/p/the-double-bind-of-identity. I would be curious to know what you make of it (of course!)

Hey thanks, I'm heading over...
