Diversity is what makes our world such a wonderful place. From different beliefs and appearances to unique foods, languages, and gender expressions, all these various cultures come together to create a vibrant and rich world. Sometimes, we forget just how special this mix is, but there are moments that remind us.

One of these moments happened recently for travel guide Alana Rainer in a small village in Vietnam. As she strolled through the village, the locals were fascinated by her long braids. They looked at her with curiosity and wonder, and one woman even gently touched her hair with a smile.

Rainer captured this touching experience in a short video, playfully titled, “being Black in Vietnam be like…” The clip shows the local people’s genuine interest and admiration. While people touching someone’s hair can sometimes be seen as a problem, Rainer was smiling and enjoyed the moment. In the caption, she shared how amused she was by their reaction.

Many people noticed how carefully and respectfully the Vietnamese woman touched Rainer’s hair, which made the interaction feel warm and positive. Rainer agreed, saying it was an amazing experience and that she was just as fascinated by the locals.

In moments like these, we can see how celebrating our differences can bring us closer together and remind us of the beauty in our diversity.
