Origins
What is your lineage?
I am originally from Jamaica but I have some ancestral ties to some other countries. The first place is Ghana where a lot of slaves were shipped to Jamaica into slavery. Another ancestral tie is India. My father's side of the family is Indian. His father traveled from India, came to Jamaica, and married a Jamaican woman. The last tie would have to be on my mother's side of the family. Her grandfather is originally from Syria but he moved to the island. I think of my origin as where my ancestors are from and where they ended up. My children would grow up with a similar origin story but more added to it since I am no longer in Jamaica, they might be born here, and who knows what the father's origin story might be.
Who are your influences?
My mother is my biggest influence because she was ultimately responsible for what kind of person I would end up being. I have always had strict parents so following rules was never a problem for me. I tend to hesitate when it comes to speaking up and due to their high expectations, I work really hard to make them proud and stress a lot if anything were to go wrong or if I upset them. Other influences would include the teachers I had throughout my education, books, poems, documentaries, and movies.
What is your ideology?
You can't make everyone happy.
Sadness is inevitable.
If you work hard, good things will come to you.
Love exists. People just give up too quick.
Weight loss can only be achieved healthfully through good diet and exercise.
Too much of anything is bad for you.
Beauty is more than just what you look like.
