Cristina Ho
What is life but a flavorful hotpot of culture simmering with fresh ingredients as we gather with family, friends and colleagues to enjoy a great time together? Culture shapes the human experience. It is the lens through which we see ourselves and the world. It influences our choices in life. Yet, in turn, our actions have a direct effect on culture, contributing to its constant evolution. Welcome to The Culture Hotpot and explore with Cristina Ho and guests those ingredients that elevate our experience as we engage and connect with others. Follow on Instagram @theculturehotpot.
ep.11 Identity, Boxes and Labels
I'd like to explore with you the question of identity, what it does, good and bad. It's a topic I mull over quite often, as I look around and observe how we humans feel, behave and react to our ideas of who we think we are. What if we bring awareness to these thoughts, and get ourselves out of those imposed boxes and change the narratives that limit us?
