Colorful Diaspora

This little description is going to keep changing because I am human. Humans change. I live and teach in New Orleans. I am black and very queer. Gay might not be the word to describe my emotional ranges on the daily. I hope you enjoy some of my musings. If not, then oh well.

 Mariah Carey’s father is Afro-Venezuelan. Her grandfather’s name was Roberto Nuñez but he changed his surname to Carey in order to assimilate upon arrival to the US. Mariah Carey would’ve been…. Mariah Nuñez. I wonder how that surname change would have altered the course of her career.
