Embracing My Heritage
Rooted & Rising
I am the child of many cultures,
Each one alive in me,
Each one a story I proudly carry.
I inherit the wisdom of Egypt —a land of ancient strength and spiritual legacy.
And the energy of Karachi, bold & bustling,where resilience & rhythm live in every heartbeat.
I carry the soul of Marathi tradition —grounded, expressive, & rich in language & history.
And the elegance of Telugu heritage —
with deep roots in storytelling, respect & grace.
At my core,I am a Mauritian —
born of an island where cultures don’t just coexist,
they celebrate one another.
Where African,Indian,Asian & European influences blend into something beautifully unique.
Mauritius taught me that identity isn’t singular —it’s layered,fluid & deeply proud.
Now,I live in South Africa —
a land of strength,struggle & soul,
where I’ve found echoes of my own story in its diversity.
Here,I’ve learned that identity is not about borders,
but about belonging to yourself.
I am not a fraction of my cultures.
I am all of them —whole, proud & powerful.
I do not need to choose one over the other.
Each culture,each language,each tradition
is a thread in the fabric of who I am.
I am not divided —
I am blended.
Rooted in history,
Rising with pride.
This is my heritage.
This is my power.
And I wear it like a crown
HAPPY HERITAGE DAY,PEEPS
❤️❤️❤️
