Get Some Culture

What Does Get Some Culture Mean and Why You Should Know!

December 22, 2017

 

What Does Get Some Culture Mean and

Why You Should Know!

 

So, if you’ve been following me, then you’ve seen this phrase “Get Some Culture.” If not, then where have you been??

Hopefully traveling and not living under a rock! 😛

So what does it mean?

Well, 2017 has been an interesting year in politics, race relations and the presidency. While this isn’t a political post, this is about cultural awareness, which includes the topic of politics.

There have been racist rallies like in Charlottesville, the spread of hate speech, and racists attacks on people of color and around the world. And, an abundance of misguided conversations across social media.

The Disconnect

Where is the disconnect? Why are we so separate in a world where it requires us to work together?

Tell me, when was the last time you treated yourself at the hospital or clinic? When did you service your own car? Flew your own plane? I’ll wait.

Through online research reviewing comments and conversations between different races, backgrounds, and countries, I theorize that there’s a lack of appreciation for culture.

Culture? Like art, dance, and music? The norms and behaviors of people groups? Pop culture? Symbols?

All of the above and more. I’m talking about food, what we wear, religion, and language. Even in the US, with more than 325 million people, each person is a representative of a specific culture. Live Science reports that “a new immigrant moves to the US every 33 seconds.” (Even with the US limiting the number of new immigrants). That’s a lot of cultures, eh?

Ready for Culture?

The customs, traditions, and values retained by your community, ethnic group or nation. US is special because there are so many cultures. But the conversations and actions that have been taking place seem to suggest that there is a lack of respect for them.

 Spread Culture, Not Hate

#GetSomeCulture is the response to that lack of respect. The formula:

Lack of knowledge (i.e. assumptions and stereotypes) +

Lack of culture (intolerance, no appreciation, isolation) =

HATE, RACISM (and other isms), DISCRIMINATION

Interacting with representatives of different cultures, spreading the love, appreciating, loving and accepting those for who they are, is what #GetSomeCulture is all about.

Spread Culture. Not Hate.

The more we engage with the world around us, the better.

And don’t be mistaken, just because you travel doesn’t mean you are engaging. Taking photos of tourist attractions don’t count. Who are you talking to? How are you engaging with the local culture and people?

Better yet, do you appreciate the people who are living in your neighborhood? At work? At your local grocery store? The local who doesn’t speak English, practice a different religion, has a darker skin tone?

What next?

So ask yourself, are you about that cultured life?

If you are, then you will:

1. Open your eyes. Open your mind. – If you think you can’t, you won’t.

2. Enlarge your territory – We can’t spread our culture or engage with it if we don’t pick up and go.

3. Appreciate Difference – We don’t all have to agree. We are different for a reason. Who would you be without the existence of others? Nobody (cue Keith Sweat)

4. Celebrate – There’s energy in positivity and acceptance of identity. Makes me want to scream!

5. MOST Importantly, DO GOOD!

If you’re about this life, be sure to join the Facebook group Get Some Culture movement. Ready?

What does Get Some Culture mean to you?

  • What are your intentions this year?
⠀⠀
🛩 Travel More (or Less)
🤑 Build Your Travel Budget
💰 Get Your Finances In Order
🥰 Love Yourself & Practice a Self-Care Regimen
🗣 Go to Therapy
⠀⠀
You can’t wish for something to change or happen if you don’t work towards it.
⠀⠀
This year I have challenged myself to be more intentional with my time, space, and goals. Because in the past, I’ve procrastinated with my time, space and goals.
⠀⠀
“Oh I can wait until tomorrow.”
⠀⠀
“There’s no hurry. I’ll get to it soon.”
⠀⠀
That was my mentality.
⠀⠀
I told myself this year that I couldn’t afford to miss opportunities, delay progress or tasks because I wasn’t mentally ready to do so.
⠀⠀
For a week, I challenged myself to push pass old habits and build new ones.

The moment I thought, “I can do it later.”
⠀⠀
The devil’s advocate scolded me and reminded me “You can do it now.”
⠀⠀
I did it. And I felt better. I didn’t have that nagging feeling of “I need to do something,” an approaching deadline or a promise to book that flight. I didn’t have that anxiety that normally comes along with procrastination.

So ask yourself:
🎍So what are your intentions this year?
🎍How would you like your life, money, time, space to change as a result of these intentions?
🎍What causes you anxiety or keep you up at night?

Put me in a tropical location with some palm trees, sand, water and sun 🥰🥰 and you can’t tell me Nuthin!
⠀⠀
Maybe because I’m in my @kora.fitness gear.
⠀⠀
Maybe because I’m 10 lbs heavier but with the extra weight I feel healthy
⠀⠀
Or, maybe because tomorrow is #GivingTuesday and you can help give back to various charities when you make a purchase.

Funny thing about this picture is I actually dislike snow. (I ❤️ mountains though). When taking this photo, it was my first time seeing it and I was in awe. And at this moment, I didn’t know what I was getting into. Little did I know this travel thing would be lifelong. 👸🏽

  • How’s your relationship with money? ⠀⠀
🚫Are you so tight with money, you can’t enjoy the experience?
⚠️Are you willing to splurge a bit? Orrr
💚Do you believe the reason why money is green because it means GO?
⠀⠀
I realize that my relationship with money determines how relaxed I am about my spending habits, budgeting and experience.
⠀⠀
What would you say about your relationship with money and how it affects your experiences?

  • Where to next? ⠀⠀
I’m not just asking about your #travelgoals or plans.
⠀⠀
What’s your next step? ⠀⠀
Don’t forget moves also involve your life goals, your mental and emotional space and/or how you plan to improve your well-being.
⠀⠀
While I’m on to Ecuador in a couple days, my life consists of solidifying my authority, work, and knowledge in my role in international programs & as a #travelblogger

So I ask again...where to next?
