I'm not extremely close to my family, but they are there when I need them.
I have a big family, mostly on my father's side, but I'm familiar with them as much as my mother's side.
Since my father is Jamaican, most of the people on his side originate from Jamaica.
My mom is African-American and Puerto Rican, so most of her family are from America.
I have six siblings that I live with. Five were adopted including my cousin, and my older brother.
We all live in Harlem, New York after moving from the Bronx.
Without family, life wouldn't be the same.
La Familia
 My mom and I on my prom day May 2009. She's very comical. |
 My dad at home. He give great advice and has intelligent perspectives on life. |
 My big brother, Davon, in the middle with the blue striped shirt. He just graduated from SUNY Farmingdale. |
 My little adopted brother Tayquane. He's been with my family since birth. He's either mesmerized by video games or reading a good book. |
 My adopted little brother and sister. Marie and Angel on their graduation day June 2009. |
