Many roots of generations have been passed down in its own way of tradition. Changed, added to, or redefined, a family’s DNA is the foundation. In my sense of DNA this is the way I personally view my family tree. With a history of strong dominant women ancestors, I started my lineage with my Great Grandma Rachael: Stern, yet a calm problem solver, she was a firm believer of self care and was Buddhist who pressured non about her options and thoughts and respected others stance on any topic.

She birthed a dominant, but far from aggressive, caring, relentless daughter who I called nana. (Carol) A sharp shooter who didn’t care about the consequencesif it meant taking care of her family. She believed in Christ and had faith that with his love and her hustle nothing was impossible.

My nana passed her tradional way of life attached her mother’s teaching and brought forth my mother. Monet Devine Curry, a solid soul who carried the heart of knowing responsibility, but felt living life with as many colors, and sprinkles was much more important. Bills will come and go but memories last forever. Laugh, dance, smile and give as much as you can was the tradition my mother passed down to us with the set boundaries of what family meant and the role each one takes on to make sure our boat forever sail smoothly.

Here is my family tree system that was taught to me.

Oldest Brother Cedric - meant my protector, and basic teacher for the remainder of your life, nothing comes in between that.

Older Sister Chasity – is my first friend, my go to for advice and laughs. Nothing comes in between that.

First Younger Brother Cordell – is my responsibility to guide and nurture. Teach him to be himself while maintaining the fabric of the foundation laid before him. Nothing comes in between that.

The Baby Brother Lamar - is also my responsibility to guide and nurture. Making sure he authentically be true to himself while maintaining the fabric of the foundation passed on for over 80 years. Nothing comes in between that.

Some may agree with my writings and some may not. The importance of this article is for you to know & define your family tree and what it means to you.

This is not just an article it is a challenge.

Good day folks
