When we cross borders, we also cross invisible lines โ€” of culture, expectation, and belonging. Robin shares her story of growing up between Italy, Germany, and Canada, and how each transition reshaped her understanding of language, connection, and learning. Michelle and Robin talk about identity, the role of English as both bridge and barrier, and what more human-centered education could look like.

*What youโ€™ll hear us discuss:*
- The realities of adapting to new schools and languages as a child and teen
- Why empathy and respect matter more than polished grammar
- English as a global tool โ€” and where it falls short
- Reflections on how education systems can better prepare multilingual learners
