You are NOT
“too different”...
You are an
n’betweener.
You’re often misunderstood.
You’re never [fill-in-the-blank] ENOUGH.
You mold, and code-switch to fit into different contexts.
You struggle finding belonging.
You make yourself smaller, and hold yourself back.
We get you, n’betweener.
No more splitting yourself.
No more choosing between identities.
Where all your worlds meet.
Coucou | Hej | Edje | Hola|
I’m Nora, I’m the founder of n’betweener®
I was born in the space n’between.
I wanted to provide language to capture the lived experience of people like you and me—those of us burdened by the need to constantly prove and authenticate our identities, explaining ourselves to others.
So I coined the term n’betweener® to capture the experience of individuals living at the intersection of privilege and oppression.
I’m a mixed-race queer cis-woman of color, and a multilingual immigrant from Denmark and Comoros.
I’m a TEDx speaker, psychotherapist, and mental health educator with a decade of experience working with all the multifaceted versions of n’betweeners.
DON’T
BELONG
HERE nor
THERE?!
An n’betweener is someone living at the intersection of multiple, often conflicting, social identities.
We are women of color, mixed-race individuals, multicultural immigrants, queer Muslims, Latinx youth, and countless other unique combinations of identities. We navigate a space of belonging everywhere and nowhere, constantly molding and adapting to fit into different contexts.
Being an n’betweener means embracing complexity and striving to deeply understand yourself. It’s a multifaceted and beautiful journey, but it can also feel isolating and lonely.
We often feel unseen, misunderstood, or left out, carrying the pain of not being represented. But healing begins when we are reflected and truly seen.
If this hits home, you just might be an n’betweener.
Welcome to your space.
“Finally, a place I belong.
I never thought I would come across the day I would be in a space of people who experience life similar to me. I was able to feel whole and celebrate my n’betweeness."
— Mytch - they, them

|The nest|
your n’betweener sanctuary
That feeling when your world meet.
A community of like-minded people to support you in fulfilling your untapped dreams.
This is a home where all of you belongs. Be bold, without feeling “different.”
Find a home for all of you
You know that exhale you take when you step into your home after a long day? There’s no better feeling than that, but what happens when you have multiple “homes?” Several identities and parts of yourself that take turns coming home and feeling comfortable?
The number one epidemic right now is loneliness.
It’s painful trying to belong to spaces where you feel like an outcast, different, too much, or even too little.
I’m sure you know what it feels like to be a chameleon — constantly changing yourself to fit in with those around you.
You don’t have to do that in The nest. Bringing just you will do. There’s no need for acting or withholding, just be the unfiltered you. The nest is a community hub for the n’betweener who is, well, n’between. n’between a transition or change and needs some support.
It’s a home away from home.
The nest is a welcoming sanctuary where like-minded individuals converge to move through a life shift together. The nest is an intentional space to connect and support. You’ll create relationships that last well beyond the 6-month program. Imagine drinking a glass of wine with your BFF after a long day or calling her for a laugh after a cry session while getting that tools and support to move you to the next step in your life. That’s what you get here.
“I can step into my power.
As an afro-indigenous gender fluid individual, I have often felt alone and misunderstood in society.
I learned to transform my pain with oppression into power.”
