lives in Jos with her family. She has been
sharing her story with other Americans and
people in the world at large via a popular
Facebook page ‘Mixed and Happy:
Her story below……
I grew up in Bauxite, Arkansas. I have lved
in Nigeria for the past 7 years with my
husband. We have two children together.
We have been married for 12 years now.
My father has never met my husband and
has refused to accept my children also.
When I had my first baby, a little girl that
is now 12 years old. I called my father and
said that I wanted to come and see him for
Christmas with my baby. He said, “I don’t
want any black people in my home!” and
hung up the phone!
I grew up in an all white school with only
one mixed girl in the school. I was treated
horribly in school because I dated a black
boy that lived in the next town at the age
of 16. My father told me that he would
disown me and to this day, I have never
received a phone call from him.
I was called nigger lover in school and
nobody wanted to sit by me. I knew what it
felt like to be rejected. I was sent away to
several different homes for troubled
children because my mother did not want
me to be with a black person. She would
lock the phone up in her room. But, today I
live in the blackest nation, Nigeria. And
today I am happy that I did not end up
racist like them or should I say ignorant.”
