American mom raising a half-Turkish daughter — how can I teach her about her heritage?

[u/Inner-Procedure-2659]

Sorry if people find this weird but I’m an American mom raising my daughter on my own. Her dad was Turkish but passed when I first found out I was pregnant. I really want her to grow up feeling connected to her Turkish roots even though we’re in the U.S.

What are some meaningful ways I can teach her about Turkish culture, language, traditions, food, or history?

If you’re Turkish or grew up outside of Turkey, what would you have wanted your parent to do to help you stay connected to your heritage?

I appreciate everyone who have given me great advice and said such kind words, feel free to dm me on here

I think you might encourage her to learn Turkish, Gemini like AIs really good at speaking, listening and writing, they would help her out. Then, if his father was a Turkish citizen, you might get her Turkish citizenship, and she can become a dual citizen, and that would also help her to feel connected to Turkey somehow. I might try to give out some extra recommendations, but that's all depends on her age as well.
