'It's very much so an outward proclamation of your cultural identity. We're in such a melting pot that I think it's something that we're really proud of.'
It's basically an act of service to your family, to your home, and to your culture.Yes, I did have to get permission from not just my parents, but my grandma and my grandpa. And they had to say "yes" in order for me to get it.: When you got your malu, was that a hard decision for you to make being so young? It's a big deal and it takes time for people to think about. How did you make the decision?Yeah, it was. My parents asked me many times if I was ready.
But then my mom and my sister were telling me that when I get it, this can open me up to the culture and this can be the start of understanding the language and understanding more of the culture. And that's when I made the decision to get it. And not only did I make the decision to get it for that, but I wanted to get it for my papa and my mom. I just wanted to follow in their footsteps and was ready to start my journey in understanding the culture and the language and traditions.
