Hi silva, thank you so much for sharing! being someone who also immigrated to the United States from the ivory coast we have similar backgrounds as far as, community and family. what you explained is not uncommon in my culture as well, I can imagine growing up with all of your family must’ve been incredible. That level of community sounds like a recipe for success! Growing up so close to your “extended family” I can imagine gives you more insight on yourself as well. I’m curious to know what are somethings that you have adopted from American culture since moving here?
