I Was Born in a Jamaican Family, and I Was a Black Person in America, and I'm Not a White Person at All.

Growing up, i had a very acute sense of my jamaciness in the context of my americanness. I was always around, you know, aunts, uncles, cousins. We would have these massive a dinners on the week ends after our, after church. And it never dawned on me that this wasn't something that everyone did,. get together with 60 or 70 people who are either your aunt, uncle, first cousin for the most part, or a second cousin.
