What started as a few conversations, became our community. As friends, we often spoke about what it felt like to navigate major life transitions without support — to be first-generation, balancing expectations at home and pressure outside, with no real space to figure it all out. We’ve resonated with it all - the in-between, trying to move forward with limited guidance, and often feeling like we had to do it alone.

We realized that inherently, coming from families who sacrificed so we could have more — but having more didn’t always mean having guidance. We weren’t handed blueprints, but we found ways to build anyway and that’s how thirdspace came into fruition. We came to be what we needed growing up: a space to reflect, reconnect, and grow without having to perform, prove, or do it alone.
