FOM&M on her Creole heritage

Check out Lynntte "Begonia" Johnson's story on her search for her Creole heritage, published in the Times Picayune. M&M wonders: where's that video? Can it be uploaded?

"When I was 7 years old, my grandmother told me I was a Creole. She was not too clear on exactly what that meant, but it sounded exotic to my young ears. Intrigued by this revelation, I scribbled down the word and vowed to investigate.

Great lede. Read more here.
