Hi, I’m Safah and I want to tell you why my culture is so important to me.
Hola, soy Safah y quiero contarles por qué mi cultura es tan importante para mí.

I believe that my culture enhances my quality of life.

My culture also links me with my community.

I wear clothes which celebrate my heritage, although the style changes depending on my mood.

I love to read books, but I’m a fussy reader because I like to read books that I will learn something from.
Me encanta leer libros, pero soy un lector exigente porque me gusta leer libros de los que voy a aprender algo.

This doesn’t mean that I will only read non-fiction, I believe that you can learn a lot about human nature from fiction too.
Esto no significa que sólo lea libros de no ficción, creo que también de la ficción se puede aprender mucho sobre la naturaleza humana.

In terms of what I believe, I don’t believe in any one particular religion.
En cuanto a mis creencias, no creo en ninguna religión en particular.

I think the extent to which religion forms a part of a person’s culture is up for debate.

My culture helps to build my identity, and helps people to understand who I am.

Cultures exist within organizations as well as within society.
Las culturas existen tanto en las organizaciones como en la sociedad.

For example, some business cultures are very relaxed and others are very formal.

When I was younger, I worked for a company where you would be scared to make mistakes.
Cuando era más joven, trabajaba para una empresa en la que te daba miedo cometer errores.

Now I work for a company where you’re unafraid of making mistakes.
Ahora trabajo para una empresa en la que no tienes miedo a equivocarte.

There is a completely different mindset, and I think that impacts the culture of a workplace.
Hay una mentalidad completamente distinta, y creo que eso influye en la cultura de un lugar de trabajo.

In the future I hope to contribute more to my culture within society and where I work.
En el futuro espero contribuir más a mi cultura dentro de la sociedad y donde trabajo.

I’m really interested in art, and I have been exploring the art that is associated with my culture.
Me interesa mucho el arte y he estado explorando el arte asociado a mi cultura.

Much of it seems very traditional, but there is a group of artists who are putting a contemporary twist on traditional art forms.
Gran parte parece muy tradicional, pero hay un grupo de artistas que están dando un giro contemporáneo a las formas artísticas tradicionales.

I’d like to be a part of that by creating my own contemporary version of traditional art.
