Polish | Jamaican

I identify as mixed, Catholic & straight. My Mom is Polish and my Dad is Jamaican. His Mother was Black-Spanish and his Father was White-British. My Grandfather was an RJR (Real Jamaican Radio) broadcaster in the 50’s, and my Grandmother a stay-at-home wife that raised 10 children in total. My Grandmother’s family lived in Savanna La Mar, and my Grandfather’s family lived in Saint Ann’s Bay. My Grandparents moved to Kingston, Jamaica after they got married. I am thankful for my Jamaican roots. Blessed with such a large family, and happy to share that my Grandmother just celebrated her 100th birthday in February. 

Through a family member I was brought up with both Polish and Jamaican food, music, and I’ve visited both countries. I am very proud of my roots. I want to be with someone who’s open to different cultures. I absolutely love interracial relationships, and I am in one right now. A lot of people are drawn to my ethnical background, and always want to learn more about where my family is from. I have been to both countries several times but I have spent a lot more time in Jamaica. As a child, we tend not to notice being mixed or skin colour. As an adult, I love having two completely different ethnical backgrounds.

I have had issues as a female in the workplace, and I have had comments about my culture in the past. 

If I had the opportunity to be reborn I would come back as me, I love me.
