Use your difference to make a difference: Interview with Tayo Rockson

This week Expat Nest founder Vivian Chiona is inspired by Tayo Rockson, an adult TCK (Third Culture Kid) and expert on intercultural assimilation. Tayo has lived in Nigeria, Sweden, Burkina Faso, Vietnam and the United States, where he is currently based. He is the founder of Use Your Difference (UYD), an online magazine that features top-quality contributions from TCKs, CCKs and global nomads. Ultimately Tayo is on a mission to encourage people across the globe to “use their difference to make a difference”.

    Being different from the majority (as the TCKs and expats are) is difficult. In a way, it’s so much easier to hide behind the ‘averageness’ . For that, I really value celebrating the uniqueness of each person. This podcast and website, you shared, Vivian, are doing a great job!

    1. Thank you so much for your comment and kind words; highly appreciate your feedback on our work Kristyna!
      Couldn’t agree with you more; let’s celebrate the uniqueness of each one of us 🙂
