Just blogged but I have more to say!!!

So the other day I was standing in the dining room and I was like ma who's that lady in that picture. Well her name was Indiana Estelle and she is my Grandmother's Grandmother! So after a lot of confusion she went and pulled out this stack of yellow legal pads with the family history on it SMHing!!! The farthest back we can go (as of now) is Indiana's mama Pinky (real name , govt, official name was Pinky!) she was Mataponi Indian and someother stuff. She was very light and had 3 husbands all of which she bought outta slavery!!! She was never a slave because she wasn't black, she was a midwife to lil white babies! So when her kid (Indiana) decides to go marry a black guy her mama tells her (I think you can do better, as in lighter) she doesn't and that's pretty much where our blackness starts (smh i know!!!)

Well in other research their was a woman named Sanada who was my grandma's aunt or something. Well when she was younger they were not allowed to speak to her downtown because she was passing. On one of the papers it said her mother was a prostitute and her father was from the white family of the Richmond News Leader Bryan Family. You talking prominent white folk thats as good as you get!!! I need to go downtown to the library of VA and look this all up...I'm not surprised though. Hooker+Rich White Man in 1890's Richmond= Passing family members and secrets for years. Now I find this out when everybody who knew her is dead! I will find out!!!

On to my grades: 2As, 2Bs, and a C... yo se no cs flotando pero fue muy dificil el proximo tiempo solamente as yo prometo

That C is a blessing though It was a big ol F at midterm!!!!!! See kids going to class cada dia and doing the lil stupid extra credit does help! Whew!
