cultural pride
Honoring one's roots
Cultural pride is a sense of satisfaction and self-worth derived from one's ethnic heritage, traditions, or group identity.
It often emerges in response to marginalization or as a way of preserving distinctiveness: The festival celebrates cultural pride in the Latino community.
Cultural pride can affirm belonging and resilience, though critics sometimes view it as exclusionary or essentialist.
