I Am Still Learning

I am a mix of different races.
I am the spices you smell when you cook.
I am a product of a history of stories that need to be told.

I am my mother's love and will to never give up.
I am the powerful one that kept my family strong when it was weak.
I am kind, loving, smart, open minded
I want to learn, ask questions.

I am a pot of hot beans that cooked all day and a side of rice that you eat when times is hard.

I am the one who holds the lies, fears, the history of hurt and pain.
I hold the stories of my family and the family 1 made over the years here.

I am blessed, and grateful, I love my faith.
I am still learning who I am.
