Happy 156th Birthday Mom & Grandma!
Yesterday was my grandma's 92rd birthday and my momma's "25th" birthday! If I look like I'm losing my mind it's because my family got temporary tattoos made of my grandma's face and my momma stuck her's on her chest. My (할머니) grandma is a depression era Canadian woman from a farm who in*******ally married my 할아버지 (grandpa) in the 1950s before in*******al marriage was even legal in the US. I am named after her Aunt Nora. My grandma is 93 and still cooks dinners once a week for a local nonprofit for the unhoused called Our House. Swipe to the last photo to see one of my grandma and I's favorites because she's in a karaoke room in South Korean and my grandpa is making his 아이구 face! It is a ridiculous image so I'm getting it framed alongside Banzai trees I got for her and mom. My (엄마) momma began doing medical trips and teaching vocational skills to women on La Gonave, Haiti 30 years ago and I began nagging her to let me go when I was 7. When I was 10, she finally let me come with her to Haiti to teach art camp which is why my second language is Haitian Creole. I learned French and Haitian Creole to speak with my big brothers from Haiti and Rwanda. She is the coolest and makes the best fried rice and kimchi-jjigae ever. My momma and grandma are the most generous people I know. A lot of my activism, empathy, sense of morality and green thumb come from them being great role models. You can see my that I'm my mom's mini-me. Neither of us look much like grandma but I love my nose because I'm convinced it looks a little bit like hers. The three of us are parts of one soul, couldn't be more grateful to be so close with and love them so so so much! Happy 156th Birthday, you crazy kids! 🎂🥳💐
