Between Two Worlds: What Does Rediscovering Your Roots Look Like?

What makes a young Asian American fly halfway across the world to represent the U.S.? For five youth ambassadors at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, the answer was more personal than a résumé line.
In the premiere of SeroTunein, host Kurien Thomas introduces the people behind this series — first-gen kids of immigrant parents drawn to Japan by family history, language, a career pivot, or simply the desire for a fresh start. Together they begin asking the questions they were rarely asked growing up: about expectations, identity, and belonging between two cultures.
In this episode:
- What a World Expo actually is (think World Cup, minus the sports)
- Why so many Japanese American ambassadors chose to reconnect with their roots on their own terms
- The quiet search for community that shapes the first-gen experience
This is part one of a three-part series on wellness, culture, and identity.
