With a little bit of work recognition, comes the rumors that im a pretendian.

Here's my moma, and my card. I even have a DNA test.

I don't mind clarifying my ethnicity, bc I can clearly see the printer ran out of ink with me.

BUT, I do mind when people are spreading this toxic commentary just to distract from their unhealthy unproductive lifestyle.
Do better.

I am anishnabae-kwe. Deal with it.

PS my dad isn't white either. 😄 hope you enjoy the DNA conundrum, that is me.
