I was raised in Brooklyn and in Baltimore. My father was a bookkeeper. When I was 36 years old, my mother told me I was adopted.

My mother birthed three children and she adopted myself and another African-American son. My adoptive parents were Finnish. I grew up in a white picket neighborhood.

I come from the countryside. I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. My best friend was a farmer's boy.

I was a farm kid from the plains of South Venezuela, from a very poor family. I grew up in a palm tree house with an earthen floor.

I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.

I'm one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.

I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.

I was raised in a lower-income family, and we were wild.
