I am a very proud mother of two grown adult men who are my life, my world, my blood. The most respectful, secure, and emotionally stable men that god could give to anyone. They are my lifeline, my reason for living, my reason for life...

So, by now, my story has reached many and comments I have received have been so overwhelming, thus ever complimenting me on my venture and supporting my beliefs that we are all one.. I was never raised hearing, "stick to your own kind", but heard different comments from people that were dark tanned, lol, growing up on a beach as I did and thought to myself that these old people are rude and mean. Then when I had my first interracial experience, all hell broke lose. My dad was crazed, pulled the phones out of the walls, got punished for dating a black man, lol... how dam silly. My friends, my family, the insults, the comments, the stares and the names, so horrific, so wrong, so not nice. I was called the most horrendous, vicious, and insulting things ever imagined. The pain, the discomfort, the awkwardness, and the unsettled feeling it made me feel I honestly didn't know why people were reacting in such a hurtful , and hatred way and why they would want to try and change my feelings. All I knew, I was talking to someone with darker skin than me!! And!! What is so darn terrible about that??? But one thing I never did was hide! NO MATTER WHAT!!! I am a child of god, we are all the same, we all bleed red. So to this day, I continue to stand and walk tall and stay as positive as I can be!

Today, as I have matured and learned about self love. I realize that so many are still so ignorant and I feel partly its because of some fears that they themselves have regarding who they are and what is acceptable. The ignorance and arrogance of others make me a stronger person. The most hated and ignorant question I get a lot is how long have you been into black men? Into black men, lol, what does that mean? I wish I could be the one to change the world, but unfortunately, I can't... I, still in 2007 get smart remarks where I go and that's ok, it doesn't affect me, never has and never will. The day that "any one" individual can walk down the street without any type of a snide or an insulting remark would be a blessing in disguise. Just as long as you hold your head up high and continue to love yourself for who you are that in itself is a blessing and will get you through life feeling comfortable in your own skin, and living a happy life!

I just wanted to say thank you to all who have entered into my life, my world, who have supported me and never disrespected my choice and decision in life.
