I know exactly where I've come from, I know exactly who my mum and dad are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm so proud of who I am and where I come from and who my father is.
How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mothers names.
My father was a schoolteacher and my mother came from a teacher's family.
My dad is Greek and my mum Jamaican. My grandparents brought me up for most of my childhood, but I saw my mum and dad all the time.
I knew nothing about my mum's family. Her parents were dead by the time she was 14. She was brought up by two aunts, and she only ever met one uncle.
My mum's parents were from Ireland, my dad's mum was American-Irish.
I think like my dad, but I have a huge kinship with my mom.
Getting to know where we come from is a really profound way of getting to look at who we are.
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
I know my father and my mother, but beyond that I cannot go. My ancestry is blurred.
