@denisiotruitt in the latest #NOIRLINIANS post "Daddy Lessons" shot by @tayphoto72 in the French Quarter •• "I was always a Daddy's girl. My father had wanted another boy (I have an older half brother) but my mother says he instantly fell in love with me the second he saw me. A small, pale ball with a head of thick black hair, his stern eyes, his mother’s pointy nose, and his father’s distinctive Truitt mouth. I was the physical embodiment of all his Black southern heritage. My earliest memories of him are teaching me to fish and assemble a tent. He was nothing short of a super hero, tall, lean and handsome with shiny salt and pepper hair. If you saw him you might think retired NBA player though he was a football star in high school. The were hints of coldness beneath his generally warm and friendly demeanor but he saved all of his sweetness for me. And I worked hard to make sure I never fell out of his good graces as my mom seemingly had. My father is an engineer and so naturally science and math became my favorite subject in school (though secretly I preferred art and reading). We built a few rudimentary robots together. Every Friday we'd have a super secret trip to 7-Eleven together where we'd buy two twinkies and two large slurpies.
