My history

Never knew growing up that I would have to pass on heritage


Never knew growing up I would have to pass on history


Wish I would have asked questions

Watched closely

Not stayed to myself so much


Today's lesson,

The trinity

Bubbling in a pan of etouffee


Mina what is green peppers, onions, and celery


My grandma, my grandpa

Smells of Sunday dinner


Cousins everywhere

Gallons of Carlo Rossi

Even Louis Jr.and Dee Dee


Grandma Phine, from Nottingway Plantation

Ancestors I will never know by name.


I never knew growing up that I would have to pass the peas to teach the future about the past.

What of the hearts of those who were apart Owned on separate lands miles away from their beloved As if These attachments have no value... they kept paired animals How does one survive with heart break
