Being raised in a mixed culture, Fiona grew up welcoming both France and England as her home. While Fiona lived in France during her childhood, she was still aware of her English background and culture through her mom.
When Fiona entered university, she decided to leave France and pursue her studies in the UK instead. Fiona felt more comfortable living in England than in France, but things startlingly shifted when she had kids.
With the social and political issues England faced, like racism and the Brexit vote, Fiona chose to leave the country and go back to France. This significant change was not easy to make, acknowledging their kids’ reaction and willingness to do so. Moreover, moving back to France was a choice that Fiona is so grateful for. Despite her doubts along the way, Fiona and her family got welcomed with positive outcomes and a more settled home that gave them security and satisfaction.
