As someone born in a different country and raised mostly in the US, lately I've been feeling like I'm letting my ancestral culture slip away. It's so easy to not notice and just let that happen when it's not part of the mainstream culture of where you live.

But my culture, where I come from, and the traditions of my family are all undeniably part of my personal history and the person I have become. I don't want to lose those pieces of myself. I want to hold on to that uniqueness and pass it on to my kids someday.

So, I have decided that 2021 will by my year to reconnect with my roots. And what better way than through the medium of books, which I already love and enjoy so much! I came up with these prompts to challenge myself to learn about parts of my culture that I feel I don't know enough about.

And everyone is welcome to join me! Whether you feel the same as I do and want to reconnect with your roots, or whether you feel like you were never connected to them in the first place and want to discover them for the first time, let's do it!
