@@ArcoZakus i respect your opinion. But as for me, ignoring such struggles doesnt mean it will disappear. And once we neglect to face it, the same struggles are still present but the pain that can be inflicted would be more costly. In my perspective, with humility, we should confront it.
Cedrice, you are beautiful inside and out, and boy can you sing and well spoken... I once was told that I didn’t sound Chinese because I didn’t have a Charlie Chan accent! 🙄
Beautiful woman. She should not worry about identity problem. That's in the eye of some of those who look at her with their own norm, which is not hers.
You’re absolutely beautiful and brilliant. You my dear know without a doubt...who you are! Inside and out. Also making me want to shave my head again. Thank you for being who you are!!!

I'm glad The Voice lead me to this. You are so talented! I was in love with your singing, but am totally in awe of your gift of storytelling (poetry and movement).
At first, I wanted to reclaim my cultural identity but then I came to realize my human life is too short and the unhappiness and stress wasn't worth wasting my time on. I am a human being and American and that's enough for me.
Very powerful speech! I'm happy to hear such an inspiring message regarding identity for multi-ethnic people. It inspires me to share my story even more. Thank you

I never really thought of myself as German, even though I was born and raised there and have never lived anywhere else. I thought of myself as half Russian and half Polish, which is where my parents come from. At least that is what I thought. I soon learned that my father isn't actually from Poland, but was born in a part in Germany that turned Polish when he was a little kid. His mom is fully Polish, but moved to Germany, which turned Polish soon after. She only spoke to my father in Polish and he even attended a Polish school. I'm not done yet. His biological father passed away when my dad was really young, so I never knew he is actually half French. And my mom isn't fully Russian either. Her mom is Russian, but her father is from Estonia, which is where she was born and raised, but at that time Estonia wasn't independent from Russia yet, so everyone spoke Russian. That's probably where the confusion happened. So what am I, really? A lot of people keep telling me that I am German because I was born here. While that may be true, my roots aren't in Germany. I have many great aunts and uncles who live here, but they are not directly related to me. If I were to trace back the steps, my German lineage would end with my father, who, even though he was theoretically born in Germany, only got in contact with the German language when he moved here for work. The way I see it, is like this: My dad is half French and half Polish, and my mom is half Russian and half Estonian. I am from everywhere BUT Germany. I gave up trying to figure out where I am from. Depending on the situation, I either give the information on my passport, which says I'm German, or I tell my whole story.
Who's here after the voice. This is dope.
Jeff Cruz It was BEFORE.
Becky Weaver - lol
I was on the same path, and why not?
@@beckyweaver5981 he didn't say this happened after the VOICE..read again..
🙋🏾♀️
Wow, such a good speaker. Who's here after the voice?
me , but this was prior... 2018
This woman is exceptionally talented, both in music, acting, and singing. She is sure to make a mark in history.
I hope she does, imagine the mark she would leave
Cedrice is gifted...so authentic & courageous. Saw her on The Voice & her performance was amazing.

marinz acebuche,
So does ignoring it.

"So for not enough of one thing. Where do we belong?" A striking rhetorical question. Thanks Ma'am
Tonight was an even better performance on The Voice!
i went to high school with her and had to sit with her in french class. I didnt know that about her. so proud of her
Working on this topic with 50 teenagers and I think this is the jackpot of all speeches!
I love it when singers give TED Talks.
Talented singer, talented speaker, talented actress, moving, beautiful, incredible stage presence. What can’t she do at this point.
the voice brought me here!!! Her body language is amazing
This is one of my fav speech. She's amazing! I am now a fan.
Got here from the voice. She’s incredible at everything omg
the voice brought me here!
As someone struggling through their own identity crisis right now, I ended up crying watching this as she sung.
Oh my god you goddess of a woman. You give lifting speeches AND sing wonderfully as well. Gosh darn
Cedrice, you are beautiful inside and out, and boy can you sing and well spoken... I once was told that I didn’t sound Chinese because I didn’t have a Charlie Chan accent! 🙄
What a beautiful soul....Amen!
When you can explain more of who you are outside of your earthly roots & pop culture, you're pretty much close to home! 🙏
Beautiful woman. She should not worry about identity problem. That's in the eye of some of those who look at her with their own norm, which is not hers.
Who really enjoys hearing someone talk, who just talks about themself?
Wow! and an even bigger WOW! after that The Voice performance.

No wonder how sense-full she were, every time she gives her thoughts whenever she loses the battle on “The Voice” stage.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Cool !
It was destiny that she ended up on John legends team. They will be mutually beneficial to one another.
I really needed this:"")
Really enjoy this Thanks Cedrice:)
This is deep
I wasn't wrong she can do everything
Reading the comments, I love the fact that so many came here from the Voice US ... means Simon Cowell gets nothing from you wtaching this.
I needed this, thank you!
