How learning about my ethnicity lead me to a new family
Growing up I frequently was asked the question, “what are you?”. Fortunately and unfortunately for me, I was blessed with a naturally tan olive complexion that prompted people to ask me this. This came even more so in my small town where diversity was well– questionable. My last name sounded like a pasta dish so…

A poem
People only ever fall in love with the idea of me. They feel my energy, see me dancing from across the room and are drawn in closer. The spontaneity that comes from someone a little “different” we will call it, is enthralling. They don’t know what it is that keeps them laughing and keeps them…

I want an Unplanned Love
I want an unplanned love. A love that is spontaneous and eventful. A love that comes out of the blue unexpectedly without warning. I don’t want to fall in love with a something that I saw coming. An image that I already have fixed clearly in my mind. An idea that is thought through and…
