Culture Mocktail is a brand and community that creates meaningful products and experiences, to help people with multiple cultural influences connect with their cultural identity.
OUR MISSION
is to help you explore how your cultural influences have shaped you, and to inspire you to embrace each cultural experience that has made you who you are today.
We do this by embodying our five core values - aka, traits we believe can help us live infinitely more fruitful lives as we navigate the world between cultures.
OUR VALUES INCLUDE BEING...
WHAT ABOUT THE HUMANS BEHIND CULTURE MOCKTAIL?
We're Aisha & Nour, two best friends that lived through the cultural identity crisis many people in the diaspora know all too well.
We never really felt a complete sense of belonging to any one of our cultural influences. It looked a little like feeling to Eastern for the West, or to Western for the East... and if you were to ask us where home is... we couldn't tell you.
For us, connecting with our cultural identities meant embracing the beauty in having pieces of your heart everywhere. It meant realising we don't need to be confined by the walls of one culture, because SO much beauty exists in the in-between.
After meeting at university back in 2016, we did a lot of that cultural and self exploration together. We also loved doing creative projects. So when quarantine hit in 2020 and we had the luxury of time to delve into our passions after our studies, Culture Mocktail was born.
