The words “I AM” carry immense power, shaping how we define ourselves and how the world perceives us. When we say “I am angry” or “I am sad,” we’re not merely describing feelings; we’re affirming who we are in that moment. These words can either empower us or limit us, shaping our identity based on what we choose to claim. Our identities are often formed in childhood by the words and actions of those around us, absorbing lessons and values from family and culture. But as we grow, we gain the ability to reshape who we are by what we choose to affirm about ourselves. For those of us with mixed heritage, this process of self-definition is even more complex, as we navigate a world that often wants to label us, but we ultimately decide who we are. Through exploration, learning, and experience, we can embrace our multifaceted selves. It’s through the simple yet profound declaration of “I am” that we can authentically express our true identity, embracing all the worlds that make us whole.
