A Tradition of Breadmaking Helps My Beautiful Black Family Rise
Briefly

My grandmother’s Jamaican roots inspired a loyalty to the Queen, evident in her insistence on taking her morning coffee and afternoon tea only in china teacups.
She married her Jamaican identity with all of the cultures around her - Italian, Jewish, Irish - raising her children and grandchildren to embrace the melting pot mentality.

My grandfather, patient and loving, would serve as the chauffeur to his wife, taking his place behind the wheel of his blue Cadillac to brave the traffic.
