In the parodic examples of Wainana (2005) How to write about Africa, Miner (1956) Body and Ritual Among the Nacirema, the TEDTalks presented by Ngozi- The Danger of a Single Story and Bart Williams Change your channel, I have learn the difference between each identities and how they are represented. Africa has always been seen as a "dark country” because individuals think Africa is poor and don't have light, but they are wrong. We are a rich country but we share between continents so that poverty doesn't happen so frequently in our land. Africa people are such a rainbow nation with different cultures and there own unique ways and style. There is this saying: "a women belong in the kitchen and the man is the one who provides in the house, head of the family", but it has change since the new South African and a lot of women are providers and that shows that woman can do what a man can do and a man can do what a woman can do.

Growing up as a coloured girl it was hard but I manage to handle every punch that came my way. People had a lot to say about coloureds and that include we are a mixture that doesn't belong here, that are not smart, we don't have nice structure or we are not rich. We are unique in our own and we don't need to fit in with society. I am proud to be coloured because we are amzing human beings that stand as a nation, we help were we can, for example this story about the missing 6 year old girl from Saldanha. This truly shows how we look out for one another or other cultures.
