I am an African, not because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me.

These were the words that inspired this post, along with the words of the late Sobonfu Somé. Her teachings helped to nurture the culture that was blooming inside of me.

Culture is defined as: The sum of attitudes, customs and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another... Culture is transmitted through language, material objects, ritual, institutions and art from one generation to the next.

I share this for all those that are feeling lost, seeking to find the truth of who you really are: remember.
