It can be something your community carried, something your family carried, or something completely personal. One sentence is enough. Add your city and region so the map can show how the message travels.

A song about identity, inherited division and choosing what we pass to the people who come after us.
Your stories. Your music. Your culture. Your humour. Your pride. Your love. Just not the hatred.
