      probably the same way every culture tells its new generation that they might have to do something different….in my culture we have been moils for generations. I want something different and despite my moil family telling me that it is tradition, I feel like I want to move onto something more modern. Maybe be a breast surgeon or even a work a deli counter..I have dreams and while its great to be in a moil culture, sometimes the world moves on. And that is ok…I am bit sick of people culturally appropriating my moil ways and using it to profit…taht should end for sure.
