Step-up Week 1 Day 2

Today we were given insight of B.A.L.L(bicultural active living lifestyle) and how it applies to our daily lives. Personally for me, I am apart of two cultures with me being Somali-american. I have strong sense of cultural identity on both parts, even though sometimes my two cultures clash. In Somali culture we are more conservative than the western cultures of America, were the people end to be more loose with their morals. But in both cultures creativity is praised and loved, finding solutions are also praised in Somali culture. We value poetry and oral traditions, we tribes used to feud both tribes would send their poets and it never ended in bloodshed since words are valued.
