I was raised in a working class, predominantly black and Latino suburb of Langely Park, MD. My parents and I shared a home with my great-grandparents and great aunt and uncle who emigrated with my mother from Cuba in the late sixties. An only child, I was raised to be proper senorita with a private Catholic education. My schooling placed my family into a lower class income bracket that required my parents take part-time jobs to maintain. I learned among mostly white children from upper middle class families. My racial ambiguity often resulted in confusion and incorrect assumptions. These early experiences played a seminal role in shaping my complex perceptions of race, class and culture. I reside in the Columbia Heights area of Washington, DC." |
