My Dad’s Dad!! My Grandfather [is Filipino]. Where my Family gets that flavor from. He Passed Away before I got to know him. But I know his Presence is around all of his Grandkids… So for everyone who thinks I’m Dominican. Sorry. Although I love my Dominican People. But I’m Black and Philipino.

    Why is he tagged as Tobagonian, if his grandmother is from Trinidad?
