Home, family, origin...these seem like knowable subjects for many. I have heard all my stories and have chosen to write my own.
- My mother says she's Hispanic
- My father says he is Black
- My grandfather refers to his tribe
- Maybe someday I'll get a DNA test
Based upon the way I look and my spirtiual beliefs, I just tell people I'm of Haitian roots.
- I've lived with my parents
- I've lived with my grandparents
- I've lived in group homes
- I've lived with foster families
- I've been homeless
Home is having the same address for awhile.
- Wing Chun martial arts taught me discipline
- Gaming (just switched to Xbox) keeps me relaxed
- Studying the history of the Black Panthers keeps me wondering
Not sure what this combination says about me.
That is my American Story.
