While writing this speech I thought I knew everything abut racism. As I went on with the speech, I researched about the concept of racism and realized I didn't understand this topic as much as i thought I did. I earned a lot through this experience and I hope you learn as much as I did.

Throughout this experience making this spoken word I have learned that nobody should decide who you should be only you have the power to decide who you want to be.

Many experiences and challenges we face in life will identify who we are as a person. Who we hang out with, even people in your everyday lives. There may be challenges, but we have to learn that is just life.

Throughout my experience making this speech, I explored the different things you can experience, and learn from others. Although, the main takeaway from this is that whatever you learn (whether it may be new traditions, culture beliefs, etc.) it always goes back to where you come from.

All my life I have considered myself an outsider, due to my culture. But where I was born does not define who I am, I get to decide what influences me to make the decisions about my identity. Same might go for you, but don't let yourself get muffled in what the world wants, but think about what you want. In cases like this, it is never selfish to be thinking about yourself, but only if you have a good conduct, is where you will see these things manifest in your life. Hope you enjoy!

By doing this project, I came to realize that no matter how much people laugh and talk about you, you are the one to decide whether it will impact your life in a positive way or in a negative way.

Throughout this spoken word, I explored the concepts of have to  move to a new environment and getting used to it  then end up having to move again all at an early age can really affect someone.

When an artist is given a blank canvas, they are expected to make an artwork that will wow everyone. When we were given the world as our blank canvas, we made it into a racist, ethnic, cultural war. It became a place where only one race, ethnicity, or culture could be on top. I went through and showed how we can start again, and get rid of this old world (not literally),  and start again making everyone equal, because the world was not created to be one person or ethnicity dominating ruling over everyone. It is meant to be equal, giving everyone an equal opportunity to live. Don't get dragged into what the world believes in what is good and bad when it comes to ethnicity and culture, but instead, help stop this "war" so that people can live without having to worry about what new stereotype someone has come up with about their background. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed interviewing my Grandmother and learning about her childhood.  It reminded me about what is really important in life.  People are what matter, not possessions or wealth.  Life was simple back then, and we cannot take things for granted because we don't know when things will change like it has in the last few months.

the world is changing day by day, but can we really accept that change. I've come to realize that those who don't accept change are fearful of what might happen. so they seek to control and it brings us to a long history of only one, one race, one empire, one man trying to seek control because of fear.

People are all made different. Difference could break people's relationship, but also it could help your relationship. We are all made different and that is why we can help.

Ungratefulness really is what fueled me to writing this because of my culture. As I grew up there were so many things that I didn't want to learn just because I found it weird. Then it hit me generations of families are meant to pass down the culture it inherits and it's unquiness.Thats why this speech is what I wrote.
