Global Citizens

Born in Germany to transnational, multiracial parents and raised between Europe and the United States, I have always felt more at home out in the world than within any one specific country. Though I hold two passports, I do not identify as a national of any country. Rather, I identify as a global citizen: someone does not identify with a single nationality but sees themselves simply as a member of humanity. Recent polls and studies have revealed that I'm not alone: the number of individuals who self-identify as global citizens is growing rapidly, thanks to globalization, travel and the growth of interracial and transnational partnerships. It's an interesting—and refreshing—revelation, particularly in light of the global rise in nationalism (Trump's America, Brexit). My series, "Global Citizens," explores this rapid rise in global citizenship. Each individual I photographed has multiple passports, nationalities and ethnicities, but most importantly, self-identifies as a global citizen and—like me—feels more at home in the world at large than in any specific country.
