Between Words and Worlds | Shanshan Xu | TEDxBeaverCountryDaySchool

Shanshan Xu, founder of the Chinese program at Beaver Country Day School, explores what it means to live between two cultures. What if your name held a lifelong identity crisis—and also a hidden superpower? In this talk, Shanshan shares how navigating her Chinese and American identities reveals the beauty, tension, and transformation that come from embracing contradiction. Shanshan is the Chinese program founder and Upper School Chinese teacher at Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, MA. From Chengdu, China, hometown of Giant Pandas and the most delicious food in the world, she majored in Asian Studies at Mount Holyoke College in western Mass and wanted to inspire kids to learn more about China by teaching Chinese. Shanshan now lives in Boston with her husband Drew and one year old son, Theodore (Ruru). She loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling and tasting food from all over the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
