Afghan-American

An Afghan-American is someone who has origins or heritage from Afghanistan and has become a citizen or resident of the United States. This identity reflects a blend of cultural, historical, and personal experiences from both Afghan and American backgrounds. Afghan-Americans may have immigrated or been born in either country, and they often navigate and celebrate diverse traditions, values, and perspectives. They contribute to the multicultural fabric of the U.S. while maintaining connections to Afghan heritage through language, customs, cuisine, or community activities.
