Q: What inspires you?
A: I realize that there are many faiths that people believe in, but there are also many people who do not believe in any beliefs like myself. Being a person of color, I felt that I was expected to believe in my faith and follow the “rules” of that faith. However, I am glad that I grew up with a family who never pressured me to believe everything about my religion. The one faith they asked me to believe in is my own, as in my own gut feeling. I was told to ask myself if I am going in the right direction or follow the path that I want to be following. Therefore, I think that it is great that people have different beliefs which shape who they are but I think the lack of faith following is just as important as someone who believes in a certain faith.
