Roots is about tracing the line back to my ancestors, tracing back my roots.

Tracing back to the people and their journey, as they are the reason behind my existence. The blood flowing through my veins, the reason my heart beats. The story behind my skin, my hair, my eyes, my smile.

I am the representation of my ancestors, I carry their stories while also creating my own. I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without their sacrifices, love and strength.
