Every individual is a unique blend of their heritage and ancestry. Over time, we grow into the beauty that each part of our past gives us, and grow stronger in our cultural identity. One should use one’s roots and thank them for the foundation of our being, not shying away from who we are. We are not our ancestors, but we can try to be better without cutting ourselves off from our past. Our roots laid a foundation for our existence in which we should be thankful and seek growth, and acknowledge our common humanity and unique cultural richness which makes us stronger.
