Caribbean Women

Every one ask me where am I’m from knowing I’m from, 

North Carolina is my accent that officiate,

English is but not my first language if you can tell by my writ ting it is French and or Spanish it come 

Very 

Natural I am mixed with little bit everything manly Puerto rican, Black, and Cherokee but my mom

Said I talk like I am Italian when I get up set the Italian claim me from where from 

The Spanish where I am from have in side joke that I am Cuban that what my dad said on job

I am minority with in a minority where from but I just say I’m Caribbean because when I research

Caribbean islands they claim me

The word other is becoming of age what is the political correct term I do not know

But I was force to answer this question on the poll when to vote and I have vote it in every term

So if I every make history remember me as Caribbean lover

From the “city that I am from”
