SUMMARY - Youth and Intersecting Identities

A teenager sits at the dinner table translating between her immigrant grandmother who speaks only Cantonese and her Canadian-born younger brother who speaks only English, her position as bridge between generations and languages having become so natural she barely notices until a school friend observes and she realizes that not everyone grows up holding worlds together, her identity formed not in one culture or the other but in the space between them where she has learned to move fluidly while belonging fully to neither, the question of who she is unanswerable in singular terms.
