Being given the opportunity to participate in the Birthright AFRICA program would afforded me the chance further to develop my African identity and continue to grow as an individual.
Culture is the foundation behind every individual; it is what plants us firm in our ideals and beliefs. It is what navigates us through difficult periods and decisions. Culture is the glue that bonds us together as one voice, one experience, and one people. Despite at times taking my culture for granted, my cultural roots have played an insurmountable role in my development as a person. The history, the stories, the struggles and the achievements of my people have simultaneously taught me valuable lessons about who I am and serves as the fuel for my success.
