What are you?
While some may find this question offensive when asked, I've learned you can make it into a fun game. I like to see what people come up with.
Here's a tally from recent guesses:
(6) Mexican
(6) Venezuelan, etc. They like to ask how my country's doing
(5) Filipino
(5) Turkish, Greek, or just the general Mediterranean
(4) Native American
(3) Egyptian
(2) Half Black, half white
(2) Argentinian
(1) Syrian
As a melting pot of my ancestors, there comes a duality between feeling a part of many cultures while also feeling like I don’t fit into one box. It's a weird enigma.
But in the enigma, I’ve grown in my skin and found joy in being a question mark and unexpected player in the game. With that, I am always down to spice things up, challenge the status quo, and change thoughts and behaviors.
Hit me up, so we can make some waves!
