What makes you a Culturati?
My curiosity about people and how they live, what they celebrate, what they believe is what makes me a Culturati. Growing up in a diverse environment, I’ve always been drawn to understanding perspectives different from my own whether it is through music, food, travel, or simply listening to people’s stories.
How did you discover your Culturati nature?
I discovered my Culturati nature through school, sports, and friendships. From a young age I was surrounded by people from different backgrounds, and I found myself genuinely interested in learning about their cultures rather than just observing them from a distance. That curiosity has only grown as I’ve gotten older.
What type of Culturati are you?
I consider myself a social and curious Culturati. I connect best with culture through conversations, shared experiences, and immersing myself in new environments and whether that’s trying new food, attending events, or building friendships across different communities.
What makes you a good Culturati Market Researcher?
My ability to listen without judgment and approach people with genuine interest makes me a strong Culturati market researcher. At 20 I’m also deeply in tune with Gen Z culture and how younger, multicultural consumers think, communicate, and make decisions, which gives me a unique perspective that’s relevant and current.
