I'm Cuban-American, everybody says. I have a Cuban background, Cuban blood.

I'm Cuban. Both my parents are Cuban. My grandparents are, too. Although I have no idea where Fit comes from.

I might be a Cuban American, but I'm also an Afro-Cuban American.

I'm actually Cuban-born, born in 1956, the year Fidel Castro came into power, and my father moved my family to Miami a few years later when things were starting to look bad.

My dad came from Cuba when he was a teenager not speaking English. And I grew up here speaking Spanglish. That's the world in which I grew up, and that's a world in which a lot of second generation immigrants find themselves.

I am Cuban, my parents are Cuban, and I was not adopted.

My family were from Jamaica.

I'm from Dallas. My whole family is based in Texas and Mississippi and Arkansas, spread throughout most of the South.
