And who gave me back my heritage?.

This speech was given at the launch of the African Heritage Restitution Tracker Website dedicated to African heritage. The speaker Rose Opondo reflected on a personal story of a friend who forgot his cultural lullaby and how this sparked a journey of rediscovering the importance of cultural heritage. She argues that cultural identity is a choice and that we can choose to preserve our heritage even when living abroad. The website is presented as a tool to help people reconnect with their heritage.
