Most commonly I say that I was born in New York City. Before that I am not quite sure where I was, what I was , or if I was. I like to think of myself as part of the Diaspora that began 40 thousand years ago when humans first left Africa and spread into Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas, and all points in between. My home is this earth. Though that even seems to be too narrow.
Identity is amorphous.
I am uncomfortable with any association that divides the greatest whole. I only feel comfortable with the idea that I am at once an individual, and at the same time, part of everything. This is a contradiction. I am large enough for contradictions. As of this date, the earliest evidence of human life has been found in Africa.
