Jamisha Albo

When I was 18 years old, my mom came out to me as bisexual, followed by the phrase, I'm gonna be in a relationship with your father and his girlfriend. Yeah, my parents are Mexican and their third is white, so when they're all together, I call them tres leches. Guys, thank you, that's my time.

Only black person in my family. And so the end of that joke. So when I was 18, my mom came out to me as bi. And then she entered a relationship with my dad and the girl that he was cheating on her with. Yeah. That sounds about right.

You had a little bit of infidelity growing up, right?

Okay, okay.

Yeah, so it's like Mexican and Italian, mostly Mexican. I have a lot of Mexicans that live in Fresno, California. But yeah, six years old. My mom just wanted a girl, so she got me.

That's the only request?

A black girl, yeah.

Good. A lot of tamales. Yeah. I'm recently sober, and I used to smoke a lot of weed, so I've replaced rolling blunts with rolling tamales now. That's it.

I did, yeah. So when I got adopted, my mom had a son from her first... We'll call it Encounter, who lived in Fresno. And then when I got adopted, I had a brother who's my age, so I'm 30 now. He's 30 as well. And then I have a little brother. The brother came out of your mother's vagina? Uh-huh, yeah.

She was also pregnant when she adopted me, so I don't know.

We love John. No, so she was pregnant with my little brother when she had me, and then... The band loves it when Deez fucks up.

Yeah, so my mom was pregnant with my little brother when they adopted me.

I asked her, right? I was like, why did you decide to adopt me? And the only reason was because she wanted a girl. So that was it.

Oh, yeah. Hates me, loves the boy.

I was a piece of shit growing up.

Yeah, I would lie. I would steal. I know I'm nice now, but I was a fucking terror.

Yes, pre-trans. My adoption, I've been a little bit more into like the technical terms of my adoption and it's called a transracial adoption when you're the only fucking different race in the whole, yeah.

What's that?

Yeah. Adoption, transracial.

The internet.

Yeah.

Food, surprisingly.

Anything, really. I was very, what do they call it, like food insecure as a child. So my birth mother was a drug addict and an alcoholic, so I was just like on my own. How did you find that out? My mom, my current mom and my foster parents.

Well, so when I got put into foster care when I was three. So when I got to foster care, they found an STD. Not trying to brag.

At three? Yeah.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, my neck is a little wet. But so, yeah, so basically my birth mother had passed out on the couch, and I just, like, left. And then the cops picked me up. And then from then on. Amazing. Yeah.

It's filled.

My name's Jamisha. I was adopted when I was six years old. I'm the only black person in my family, and when I tell people that, they think my life is a lot like that movie, The Help. Yeah, growing up, my life was more like the movie, Get Out. Except with Mexicans, which was somehow worse. My mom is a combination of white and Mexican, so when we're in public, I call her Mexi-Karen. Right?

Like she can eat tamales with the best of them, but like a white woman, she loves to say the N word. Yeah. Nordstrom. But she is Mexican, so it's more like Nordstrom rack. That bitch loves a hard R. Okay. I got kinky parents. You guys have kinky parents? Don't answer that. You see, here's the thing about kinky parents. You shouldn't know that they're kinky.
