A journey about learning Colombian culture with a lost Colombian

[thelifeidream]

So I'm not Colombian enough?

‘I don’t act Colombian enough", “I’m not proud of my heritage and culture”, “I don’t speak the Spanish I should be speaking”… quite frankly, it’s none of your business. I didn’t know there was a specific way to act, or be a Colombian national.  It is not my fault that I was raised in the United States, around a melting pot of cultures. Who are you to judge how “Colombian” I am or should be? If you think I’m a glorified American, Cuban, or Puerto Rican etc well you are quite wrong. I celebrate my culture each and every day with the music I listen to, the food I eat and the language I speak, that is enough. Your ignorance disgusts me, how dare you question me. 

I suggest you learn English, and remove the increasingly annoying accent you carry with the “perfect” Spanish you say you speak, you do live in the United States. Oh, and who are you? I don’t even know you!

Welcome to my blog!

Follow me on my journey on learning about my colombian roots. My name is Izabella. I was born to a colombian father and polish mother. Polish culture has always been a big part of my life but nobody ever taught me about my father's side of the family. It is now my mission to learn Spanish and educate myself on my colombian roots. With the help of my dad, I'll try my best to make this blog as helpful as possible for Latinos like me. We'll be talking about colombian culture, be born to immigrant parents, learning Spanish and more! Hope this helps! ❤️
