My Cultural Patterns

 I'm half Samoan and half African, so I chose two patterns instead of just one. The reason I've chosen this blue pattern is because it reminds me of a beautiful dress my mum made me, with a similar pattern and colour.

I don't know much about the African culture, but I really liked this pattern. The orange and red colours remind me of the dirt in Africa. I also really liked the shapes, it's not just lines but more like dots and dashes.

My culture - Being African and Samoan

I wouldn't be the person I am today without my culture. I have two different cultures to love and to learn. The Samoan and African blood runs in my blood.Being African and Samoan has given me two different perspectives of how to do things, and different ways to view the world.

Through the Samoan culture I've learn't different foods and cultural dances. From my African side I've learn even more recipes, the next thing for me to do is try making them. I've learn't lots more about life in both of the countries, giving me my own new perspective. 

I'm proud to be Samoan. I'm proud to be African. I'm proud to be me.
