Even though I was born and raised in Canada, my ancestry has played a large role throughout my childhood. I was born in Windsor, moved to Mississauga, then lived in Brampton from the age of 5 to 16. For every individual, being Jamaican or Nigerian is endlessly unique in relation to the next. It is a point that will lead to assorted reactions. So for me, being both Jamaican and Nigerian is just a respect being presented by the highest. Disregarding the negative conduct of a couple of bad people in every area you will understand that you have been provided with a great legacy. We set trends, break barriers and create history.
Jamaicans and Nigerians have had a worldwide effect in all regions.There are many things that Jamaicans and Nigerians find iconic to our culture. Some of which include: our food, our religion, and our well known athletes. Our incredible sprinters Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser are record breakers and have spoken to us well. We salute these incredible good examples of our property. Not only that, but most of our youths tend to be athletes. They're pretty much everywhere; me being one of them. We also tend to be very spiritual. The praying grandmother, the prayer warriors or even the Rastafarians are examples of this. They definitely believe in the Creator and they also believe in church attendance.
Jamaicans are known for these amazing characteristics, and numbers of other attributes. So as I mentioned I find it to be extremely meaningful to be Jamaican and Nigerian; two recognizable countries in the black community.
