22. Refining my identity

My identity is a fusion of three rich cultures—Congolese, Ugandan, and Canadian. Each aspect of my heritage is more than just a reflection of where I’ve lived; it’s a testament to the diverse experiences that have shaped my worldview. But as I revisit these influences, I find that each layer of my identity deserves a closer examination—a deeper understanding of how these cultures continue to shape who I am today.
