Privilege: "Is to have things granted with out having to work for it."
I feel privileged to have been raised in a house hold that encouraged creative expression over academics. I had the privilege of being exposed to music, language, culture, and art in my childhood. These privileges allowed me to expand my knowledge of other cultures, customs and philosophies. Being exposed to all this sparked my interest in history, sociology, anthropology and the arts. A strong sense of self was instilled in me by my elders and I am privileged to have been abel to hear them and absorb their words into the fabric of who I am. I have a rich culture of jazz, blues, dance, and history...I am privileged to be black.
