AFRICA | AMERICAN STORIES: IDENTITY AND DREAMS

Personal History

I come from the Christian religion. I come from a family that loves to travel. I come from dark, brown, wavy hair that swings when the wind blows. I come from different cultures Indian, White and Black. I come from America a country that is always afraid of what is different. I come from weather that is never reliable. I come from a temper that is stronger than words. I come from strong, talented African American women. I come from tall, strong, athletic, talented men. I come from strong, proud nations.
