I am a first generation Jamaican-American who is the eldest of 8 children. My identity is very much centered around my relationships and pouring into loved ones however they need but ironically has trouble accepting gifts in return. I am a giver, nurturer and doer by nature. I take pride in my character which was preached to me by my father from a very young age. Speaking of which, I am a daddy's girl (and proud of it). I am a friend who values friendships as chosen family and I work to keep these relationships. I am a music head: I listen to and love (almost) everything but I am particularly fond of gospel, jazz, r&b, hip hop, classical ... I am a flutist (pretty good at it) and a dancer (for fun). I am black and I am proud. I am a Christian who loves Christ. I am a creative (sketch, knit, write, etc,.) and a lover of art. I am an advocate, for my students, family, friends and those whose voices are muted. I am the proudest auntie to 5 little ones who will literally fight to the death for them.]]> 2021-08-04 15:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darnesed/fn1rtz3vpmwyllmo/wish/1669013752 gxgtybx7td https://padlet.com/darnesed/fn1rtz3vpmwyllmo/wish/1669024757 Like the majority of Black people in Pittsburgh, my family migrated from the south (mine specifically from Louisiana and Georgia) to escape slavery and Jim Crow.
