Dancing and Singing

As a Nigerian, my cultural heritage is embodied in deep family values, unity, and celebrations that involve communal singing and dancing...even in high and low situations. Singing is therapeutic, as it is dancing for us as a people. We can be amazing when we're united, regardless of whatever life brings. Unity is the ability to care for each other, and be able to overcome adversities with each other. And when we do, we sing and dance in celebration of our highs and lows.
