Clock wall: Where are you from?

“Where are you from?” many times it is not just a curious question, is way to attribute value to someone based on stereotypes and biases.

I’m making a personal effort to stop asking that or at least, to be more curious about all other aspects of the human beings around me.

I’m from Brazil, but not from Rio. I’m from São Paulo, but neither from there. I’m proudly from Bahia, but still, not from Salvador. When traveling I’m also from the Netherlands, but of course I’m not Dutch…
