 Growing up overseas as a missionary kid who was adopted actually that answer is complicated. My, my culture, I would say, never really aligned with any, and it’s just kind of amalgamation and meshing of different cultures that I’ve experienced along the way.

I think that the, the fact and the, the powerful truth that my identity and my value and self worth comes from Christ alone and not my outward appearance or any of that, is really powerful and it, it sets me free that I can not see my race as a hindrance, but that I can serve God without fear.

But also I can see my race as a powerful testament to God’s plan and God’s creation.
