Where am I from?


I am from Africa. The land where natural resources are endless, we feed the world for centuries and counting. Where we find organic fruits and vegetables. Africa has 54 (55 including Morocco which is not part of the African Union) recognized countries each having a variety of cultures and even ethnicity as well as religions yet we live in harmony regardless of our differences(only a few countries are exceptions to this). In Africa our definition of beauty is not with size but with personality, your good manners and generosity go a long way in the society.


Majority are either religious or spiritual since we all believe in a higher power. We are naturally creative and have so many talents that are yet to be discovered. We look up to the foreign continents when in reality we have more than most of the foreign countries, we have been deprived of our rights with all the never ending exploitation yet just like a Phoenix we are still rising above it all. We value family and our roots. 


Where children are not forced nor expected to move out when they're "of age", they have an option to Move out or stay home. They work hard to invest in their lives and contribute to the household, they can move out when they're ready to start their own families. We believe in reserving our nature and keeping it as green as we can despite the foreign influences. We believe in our continent, we believe in our countries and though many would aspire to live abroad, there are also many of us that would rather stay home and build... I'm one of them. I am an African from Tanzania and I'll forever be proud to claim my continent.
