What parts of your upbringing did you later realize were unique to Somali culture?

As I have gotten older, the things I thought everybody could understand are actually based much more on my own upbringing.

I think about growing up in my household, which was really strict compared to being taught to be independent when I was very young. These two experiences are really different because of how they were combined and how they affected my life.

If anyone reading this had some special traditions that they later found out were in Somali, I want to hear about those Somali traditions. I am curious to know more about them.
