Growing up, Tisha Tejaya understood she was different from the other kids in her class. She would often get embarrassed about the traditional Indonesian cuisine that popped up in her lunchbox. You don t belong to the country you came from, and you look different from most of the people who are in the country you live in, she says. I didn t really know who I was, and I often took that resentment out on my family.”
It would be some time before she would discover her history.
Tisha grew up on the edge of a mango farm.
