Okay, so tell me the real story.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

So my mom was teaching in East Africa where she was part of a bunch of like sort of white US teachers in the Aberdare Mountains where she went to teach.

And she met the people making Kenya's independence movement there.

And that felt more interesting to her.

And my dad, who's Jomo Kenyatta's dad,

they became romantically involved.

And that was not going, you know, sort of raising an American half white kid was not gonna be sort of a part of his destiny.

So she moved back to the States.

She wanted to live somewhere where she grew up was entirely white.

She wanted to live somewhere with some diversity, because she was gonna be raising a black kid.

So she moved to Harlem, and that's where I was born.

Like West 142nd and Riverside is where we had a little apartment.

But she worked for the Jimmy Dean show.

Jimmy Dean, who was both a star and made sausage.

I always liked it during certain swaths of the country.

Waffle House, of course.

I was aiming for more caloric intake.

All right, God bless.
