The quote that stood out to me was, “identifying as an Arab does not prevent one from also identifying as an African. Africa is diverse and we should celebrate that, instead of putting a label on what an African is.”(Egbunike et al., 2018). I liked this because it made me question how quickly we use labels to define people. Being Arab, Egyptian, Muslim, and African can all exist at thesame time. What also surprised me was how people from different parts of africa can have streotypes about each other. It made me realize that sometimes the biggest distance between like people is not geography at all but instead the way like we understamd each other.
