Jonathan

One day, a Saturday, two of my father's brothers, two of my uncles show up at my house. I didn't know them. I only knew my father. And then my mother told me, Jonathan, these are your uncles, your father's brothers, and they're going to take you to meet your father's family. And that was, for me, scary and exciting at the same time.

Suddenly, I'm in a room later that day full of people that I have never seen in my life. I'm 14 years old. And my father's wife was there. My four sisters were there, my father's daughters, my grandparents, uncles and aunts, family to spare. That I didn't know. And everybody's looking at me like, oh yeah, he's Salmonte. He's from our family. He looks like my father.

They were like, oh yeah, he's from the family. A year passed and never talked to my father about that meeting. And the day came when we met in one of these spots that we used to meet. And in Latin America, we say, father, will you bless me? Or mother, will you bless me? And they say, God bless you. It's something that we do out of respect for our parents.

And you do that for your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and father and mother. And he didn't bless me that day. And he said, why you did that? He was angry. And I was like, why I did what? And then suddenly he said, you made my family without my permission. And I understood what he was talking about. And I said, Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you didn't know.

It was Uncle Lucas and Pedro who wanted me to meet them. And you have a beautiful family. And then he interrupted me and said, neither you or my brothers had the permission to get involved in my life. You have to understand you're a mistake in my life. And I am 14 years old. Those are crushing words. And yeah, so if you ask me, what is the worst poverty that I have gone through?

That is the worst poverty. Again, I learned how to deal with my broken shoes, with lacking school uniform, lacking food, but how can I deal with the reality of my father thinking that I was a mistake? The reality, Candice, and that's the reason I said at the beginning, there's a lot of blaming in poverty. But nobody gave me a menu to be born where I was born. I was just born.

I was born in the reality that I was born.
