I love to see people taking back their cultures. This is beautiful. Neither of my parents speak another language besides English but this still speaks to me as a Louisiana Creole because our languages were taken from us collectively generations ago. Many of us have grand or great-grandparents who spoke French &/or Louisiana Creole (similar to Haitian Creole but native to Louisiana back when it was a French colony. It’s a mixture of French and various African languages)but it has since almost completely died out. I have a few great-grandparents who spoke French & Creole & one from Nicaragua who spoke Spanish so although I didn’t get to grow up hearing these spoken in my own household, I still feel very connected to them and to what my heritage was originally prior to forced Americanization and I too am learning my heritage languages (Spanish & French. I’ll learn Creole later because there’s very few people I can speak it with). Keep up the great work! & amazing editing/video quality.
Proud of you G! I pray your journey to learn your native language becomes healing for you! Im in a similar spot as well I've been teaching myself Tigrinya for 4/5 years now.
Hi! I came here from Instagram :) I really relate to not being able to speak my parents' mother tongues. I have a fear that I'll lose my understanding of their languages and I'm also learning. I love your storytelling and visuals. Thank you for this! 🫶🏼
This is fire brother. In the same boat as you. And as someone who’s just begun this video is so well crafted. Well done
"laughter from the same people who were supposed to have taught you" hit hard. love this sm
