Growing up in San Francisco, I was constantly surrounded by the cultures, thoughts and ideas of so many different people. I loved learning from these different cultures and found them fascinating. This book shows that expressing your culture isn't always going to be easy or welcomed but that culture is an essential part of who we are. ( )
