Our Story

The inception of Culture Scoop traces back to Tyra Tucker's interactions with a WeChat Pen Pal in Beijing, China. Engaging in discussions spanning sports, culinary delights, traditions, and travel, Tyra found herself captivated by the opportunity to explore another's reality and forge cultural connections. This fascination birthed the concept of Culture Scoop – a digital platform designed to facilitate global learning and connection.

Upon relocating from United States to pursue further studies in Derby, England, Tyra's vision for Culture Scoop began to materialize. Supported by both the academic and financial backing of the University of Derby, she embarked on a journey to secure funding, recruit interns, and develop the platform. Through relentless dedication manifested in countless hours, emails, filming, and writing, Culture Scoop emerged as a pioneering force in cultural exploration, steadfastly enriching lives for over five years.
