Greetings my people. I can be partly honest with you and say that the month of May came and left me with little time to write an article but let us leave that story for another day.

Maybe my story will make sense if I share my background. I come from a crisscross lineage. Dark as my skin looks to white people, they look amused when they learn about my Irish ancestry.
