about me

Generation 1.5 refers to immigrants who moved to a new country during their formative years—typically between ages 6 and 12.

They’re not fully “first-gen” nor fully “second-gen”—they’re somewhere in between, growing up with a foot in two worlds.

At Generation 1.5, we also embrace the full spectrum of in-between immigrant experiences:

• 1.75 generation: Immigrated in early childhood (ages 0–5)
• 1.5 generation: Immigrated in middle childhood (ages 6–12)
• 1.25 generation: Immigrated in adolescence (ages 13–17)
   

No matter your age of arrival, if you’ve had to build a life between cultures—this is your community.

People in this space are often:

• Bilingual and bicultural, yet not fully at home in either identity
• Navigating complex questions of belonging, career, and self-expression
• Often balancing academic, professional, and social expectations from two cultures
   

At Generation 1.5, we’re creating a space where these identities are understood and celebrated. Whether you’re here to share your story, explore your roots, or connect with others—you belong here.
