| Introduction | To those who ask, God Bless you, I too am human... My parents are American born. I'm from Maryland, and so like most African-Americans I am comprised of three different groups: My African descendants came from West Africa, most likely Sierra Leone. My European descendants were English, and given our surname (Fowler) they were hunters and sportsman hired by the King. My Native American descendants belonged to a large family of tribes known as the Algonquins. All-in-all, I had a director who once gave me the greatest compliment. She said, "You are from my tribe: passionate, gifted, smart, funny, and so so special." So get down with me and join the family! |
