I’m mixed race, and the flags behind my silhouette represent the heritages of the people that came before me. But I’ve never lived the cultures they lived, or spoken their languages, or walked their paths. Most of the countries/lands shown I have never set foot in. Yet, when I’m asked “what is your heritage?” It feels like a loaded question with many avenues that don’t align with who I am. So, I often contemplate responding “I’m human. Isn’t that enough?”
