The way I was raised was always interesting to me, and I thank my family any time an odd situation arises regarding my cultural heritage, status, or any other issues which had formed in my life.

Despite the fact that my parents are from two authentic traditional countries, my family is unique in our own way, considering that we would practice traditions and create it with our own.

contradict each other more- Dee, ever bold and assertive, dreams big for herself, while Maggie remains withdrawn, a homebody, and resigned to her current life.

Dee and Maggie thus present Mama with a decision between her two daughters and their two ideologies. On the…
