The place that I feel well connected with is Broward County, Florida. Being raised in Broward County, Florida exposed me to a tropical weather that makes me feel well connected to it. The reason I feel the tropical weather connects me to Broward County is because of my ethnic and racial origin having ancestors come from places similar to where I currently reside. Coming from an Afro Caribbean background mangos and other exotic fruits are plentiful depending on the season in Broward and where my mother comes from she’s always able to relate to the scenario of being excited picking fruits from a tree. Another thing that connects me to Broward County, Florida is the exposure to different ethnic cultural groups. No matter what diaspora people are able to connect and see how their traditions connect to one another and the exposure to the Latin American presence is inevitable. When growing up in Broward County, Florida you see many markets and food Takeout spots owned by various ethnic groups. I’ve seen markets owned by Cubans, South American Spanish speakers, Haitians, Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Indo Trinidadians and Indo Guyanese people who are descendant of east Indians imported by British colonist to work alongside enslaved Africans as indentured servants and slaves. Another thing that enamors me about Broward County, Florida is the wild life of many exotic creatures ranging from reptiles to fish. Living in south Florida I’ve seen exotic invasive species such as Snakeheads, Peacock bass, Curly tailed lizards and Jesus Christ lizards that can run on water with their two hind legs giving the lizard its name. Another feature of Broward County, Florida are its vast array of plants that could be medicinal such as Aloe, Castor bean and Sauceed. With Florida being a tropical place it is home to the orange which are widely grown throughout the state.
