Cultural identity for me as an African- American is more American than African. My Mom’s family actually did a family tree and her ancestors are from Ethiopia. My Dad has not done a family tree so he doesn’t know where his ancestors are from that’s why I identify with more American traditions than African. Education, celebrations and family are part of my cultural identity.
My grandparents to start out were actually sharecroppers and they picked cotton during segregation in Mississippi. Luckily, during that time they still got a good education went to college and got their Bachelor degrees. My parents also went to college. They both have Master's degrees.

We celebrate all the holidays in the book almost. For example, Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. The trees, the songs, the food, the traditions everything! That’s why It’s the most wonderful time of the year right? Our tradition around this time is that my mom makes everybody pancakes and then we open our presents after everybody eats. Of course there’s the G.O.A.T(Greatest Of All Time) for holidays, Thanksgiving. Our tradition for this great holiday is that we all gather at a relative's house have a big family gathering then we all gather in the house to eat. I like this holiday a lot because I like to hang out with my cousins I haven’t seen in a long time. Of course there are other celebrations such as birthdays but I won’t get into that as much as the other ones.
In conclusion, I am African American or some people might say “Black.” Sometimes, I think that is confusing but I identify with both. And in some aspects of this subject I think some of it is cultural heritage while some of it is cultural
