From DIGITIZE (by Smyah) – I’ve always carried a sense of pride in my identity, or at least part of my identity. There was a time when I ran away from my heritage, from the parts of me that I didn’t understand or couldn’t accept. I denied the features that were passed down through generations: my angular eyebrows, the shape of my eyes, and the tip of my nose, all of which hold a genetic story I was uncomfortable claiming.
