ten year old girl

depth and perceptiveness

brought up in culturally diverse area

didn’t think much of accents until she was 9 when someone told her she says weird words

ask her to say  words with her different accent

more aware after this as she was older

openly asked questions so she could be a part of her mothers culture in Swahili

felt like an outsider because she didn’t understand

would shy away because she was afraid of making errors in her mothers native language

don’t speak at all in fear of error and language barrier

children and immigrants aren’t always able to connect with their parents
