@amaris._: "Love your page!❤️ I come from a #multiethnic background. I’m #mixedwith #Cuban #Black #LouisianaCreole #Lenape Indian, & #AshkenzaiJewish heritage. ✨ my biggest #MGP is: Growing up, I didn’t realize how different I was until people tried to exclude me from certain groups because of how light or dark my skin is and also the fact that I couldn’t speak certain languages. I think it’s important for people to embrace their heritage regardless of what other people say about them. I make sure I show that representation through my artwork @visualsby_amaris ✨ I appreciate pages like this because it helps other mixed individuals feel included!❤️💯" 🇨🇺🏴🇺🇸✡️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's #AAPIHeritageMonth!

Moi outside Congo Square in 2000 in New Orleans on my quest interviewing and filming Louisiana Creoles for the "Creole Segment" of my yet-to-be completed documentary "The Descendants of Africa". I also drove to the historical sites of the Cane River, Melrose Plantation and Nachitoches, Louisiana. It would ultimately be in inspiration for my historical Creole drama "Blood Makes the Red River Flow". #louisianacreoles #congosquare #neworleans #nachitoches #documentary #thedescendantsofafrica #renaissancewoman #thespian #playwright #documentarian #director #producer #filmmaker #nycgirl #oloeshu (at Congo Square Preservation Society)

Sourcing the Archives

So, the last post that I made showcased a previous post while vacationed in New Orleans; a reblog of sorts. Remembering the memory, and updating the tags, the word tricentennial prompted a deep dive into its etymology.

tri·cen·ten·ni·al/ˌtrīsenˈtenēəl/

Tri, meaning three and -cent, whose etymologic root is latin meaning 100, and -ennial, which denotes not a thing, but apparently a person. After digging, I uncovered that -ennial also has a latin root; deriving from its parent word annus meaning yearly. Thus, the word tricentennial quite literally means three hundred years. #figureitout Language is a build upon, like a game of jenga... enjoy the process.

Antoine Dominique "Fats" Domino Jr. - RIP (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter of #LouisianaCreole descent. He had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, and five of his pre-1955 records sold more than a million copies, being certified gold. From 1955-60, he had eleven top 10 hits and his record sales were reportedly surpassed only by #ElvisPresley. During his career, Domino sold over 65 million records. His musical style was based on traditional #rhythmandblues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums. Virtually all contemporary music owe him big time: from Elvis, the Beatles and every other big name that became the top musical staples of our time. Rest In Peace - True Legend. ❤️#portrait #nickcelbs #nickcolport #fatdomino #art #korimlizfatdomino
