THROUGH YOUR PEN

From the mother tongue to one’s carnal appearance and traditions. The diversity of our people is held up high, worn like a crown and praised like a prize. From our roots we grow, like an eagle we fly, culture is our prize and our heritage is lionized. Our traditions, celebrated to promote unity and growth. Togetherness and gratefulness. This is a call to the youth, to those ignorant to our past, to those who lost their paths, disconnected from their roots, blinded by those who failed to see the truth. Unchained we took strides, our cultural heritage is our drive, traditions help set the wrong to right and help us see the light. So our heritage is our pride and our drive to thrive to strive to reach the sky.
