Greetings!

I should have known we were on line seeing as though I am a tech-head. So caught up in technology that I forget to check out web sites that I can relate to on a personal side.

Was up? My name is Brigitte Elizabeth Johnson. Born right around of the civil rights movement. I am 33 now. I am bi-racial. My mother is part American Indian/Black. My father is of Irish decent w/blonde hair-blue eyes. My skin turned out extremely olive color. I have no physical African traits at all. I confuse everyone. I have long dark brown (with blonde tints) with dark brown eyes. I turned out 5'9 and slim with very long hands, feet and legs. My whole family is rather intergrated. I am very proud of that. Got a lot to tell you about my journey. It's been a trip.

I have never married. I have dated men of all races. I have been very close to some past boyfriends that started getting serious until I brought them home to meet the parents. They decided to "bounce". None have really hung in there. I currently have a white boyfriend who treats me like a princess and who accepts me.

My mom is a beautiful, fantastic, crazed woman! We are extremely close! I never met my dad. The family (black side) kept my indentity a secret until I turned 15 which catapulted me into an indentity crisis which so happened to be after the grandmother that raised me died. I was handed an obituary column written about a man who had died 3 years prior. He turned out to be my father. He only lived 20 miles from my house in a neighboring town in central Kentucky. I was angry for many years. I'm cool with it now. I can't blame my mother. She didn't know what to do as she trying desperately to protect me from further harm. I finally met my father's sister who turned out to be wonderful and accepting. Also, found out that I had grandparents. Remember I had just lost my black grandma. They denied me and refused to meet me. Still to this day never met them. They are still alive today. But I'm cool with that now.

Anywho, I turned out better that I thought. Got a great career, family and I am so happy to be me. There is lots more to come. My black syblings and friends. My white syblings and friends. People forgetting I am part black after they tell racial jokes or say the "n" word in front of me. Ooops!! ha ha

I want to tell you about my experiences and maybe some one can learn from them. I am very diverse and all for bi-racials taking a stand. Please write me back
