Thato van der Jagt shares her experiences as a Third Culture Kid finding her place in a nation that “on paper” she is from. Having moved around the beautiful continent of Africa her entire life, Thato shares how her lived experiences contributed to the birth of her newest project Curated Culture.

Created at the height of the first Covid-19 wave, Thato describes how she envisioned this digital magazine offering a moment for black people to come together to create something beautiful and positive.

Curated Culture brings to life a platform for 'ordinary people' to share what about them makes them extraordinary. It is a place for people to express themselves through stories, poems, art, photography, and more. It serves as an inspirational, entertaining, and informative collection of work that is unapologetically black.

About Us
The displacement, voluntary or involuntary, of Black people throughout history is what we call today the African Black diaspora. The purpose of the Life in Diasporas podcast is to figure out what it means to be black in your country. Through enlightened and well-thought discussions, we will decipher, analyze and understand what it means to be black in a European country in the 21st century.

This podcast is inscribed in a broader context; while English literature documenting the histories of other Black communities in Europe has steadily increased over the years, the availability of
this kind of content in France remains limited. Life in Diasporas aims to explore the ebb and flow of diasporic migratory patterns throughout Europe, from Rotterdam’s Little Cape Verde to Brussels' Congolese quarter. Join us as we embark on this adventure of tracing Afropean roots across Europe, looking at the different ways black communities have formed the spaces they have made home and the new identities they have crafted in the process.
