Hello! My name is Maria, and I am a 20-year-old Colombian-Nigerian woman. I was born in Colombia but grew up in Nigeria where I spent most of my childhood years. As for me, I am sexy, confident and have an intricate lace design on my lingerie which I believe is the highlight of my backstory!
My mother is from Colombia while my father is a Nigerian and they met when he was working in Colombia as an oil engineer. We moved to Nigeria when I was just 3 years old, and that's where I spent most of my childhood years until we relocated back to Colombia again when I was around 16-years-old.
Being a mixed race woman has been quite interesting for me because it means I get to experience different cultures and traditions that are unique to each country. In Nigeria, I grew up learning how to speak Yoruba fluently and even though my family was Christian, I also got to learn about traditional African religions as well.
When we moved back to Colombia, I had to adjust to a completely different way of life. The food, the language, everything was different but luckily for me, my mom's Colombian family took me in and helped me acclimate to the culture much faster.
Now that I am older, I feel like I have found myself as a person, and I am confident in who I am despite all the cultural differences I may face. I love to travel, learn new things and explore different cultures which is why I believe my backstory has given me a unique perspective on life.
So, what about you? Where are you from and how did your cultural background influence who you are today?
