As a second generation Northerner in the US, a lot of my family comes directly from the South.\u00a0 <\/span>My family, like many others, was part of the second Great Migration of African Americans from the South to the North in the 1930\u2019s \u2013 1950\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/span>One of my favorite memories growing up was talking to a great, great aunt from Alabama.\u00a0 <\/span>She spoke what many would call Creole English and it took a while for me to be able to understand her. When I did, I was immersed in stories and idioms I had never heard before in my cultured, Northern upbringing.\u00a0 When talking about plans for the future, my aunt would say, \u201cIf God is willing and the creek don\u2019t rise.\u201d I used to think it was just something she said without thinking about it until I came across Fons Trompenaars\u2019 Seven Dimensions of Culture with the dimension of Internal vs External Control.\u00a0<\/span>
