New pics and family info
Good Morning Family,
There have been SEVERAL people who have asked me what my lineage/ethnicity is (and no, it did not offend me in the least). Admittedly, I have that “could be anything" look. Most people think I am either white, Samoan/Hawaiian, a Latina, Spanish or Italian. So I thought I would just answer this question on BAF. For the record, I am Creole. My Father was born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA. On his side of the family we are a mixture of Haitian, French, African, Native American and Spanish. My father was tall, dark, and was dangerously handsome. He has passed. My mother is English/British Canadian (yes, I do have duel citizenship). She has copper red hair (well, it’s a little more grey these days) freckles and grey eyes. She isn’t just white, she glows in the dark! She still lives in Canada.
Within my immediate family (my brothers and I) we have a rainbow effect in play. Out of the four of us, I am in the middle of the road as far as complexion. Now, I am sure some of you are saying that if she has a white mother, she Mulatto not Creole or she’s Cajun, because she is so light skinned. ….whatever…! Growing up, I have heard it all, mulatto, pardo (Brazilian term), high yellow, red bone, light, bright and almost white, you name it. Too me, it’s all good. God made me in HIS image and therefore, I am beautiful.
I have uploaded a few pics of my parents to my page if you are interested in seeing the trees from which this apple fell. Yes, Yes, Yes….I know, I look like my Dad.
Thanks, Brenda. The pics are wonderful.
Following in your footsteps I have attached a few snapshots of what I used to look like back in the day too:
Here's some of me on my birthday
I was a lot lighter then - Reversed vertiligo
Here's one of me after I lost my virginity
Here's one of me in college:
Here's one of me after a college party
I was a lot skinnier then and started to darken up.
Here's one of me at a dude ranch in Wyoming
I know the hat makes me look fat.
And here's one of me back when I used to lift weights
I hope you enjoyed this stroll down my memory lane.
