There has been so much happening in my life recently - wonderfully BIG changes that I will be sharing publicly soon (I need approval before doing so), but one of the things I can share is that I have just been reunited with my two long lost youngest brothers who were placed in the foster care system in similar ways that my (second-born) brother and I were also placed in the system. Unlike he and I who were 8 and 6 years old respectively, my youngest brothers were just one and two years old and therefore I would not be able to find them under their birth names for over 24 years... I have no words that come close to express the feelings exploding in my chest right now (so much for going to bed early), the heart palpations, and the tears rolling down my cheeks. They are happy tears. All the work I have done has been in the memory of not just my second brother (who was shot and killed at 18 years old) but dedicated to these two who I wouldn't go a day without thinking of. I wanted to shine so bright in my life, that if I couldn't find them, they would find me...and they did! Their sister @rivanyri and I are blessed to be (re)connecting with them, and throughout the tragedies that separated us (you can read their story on one of the included images), and the questions and stories we all have to share with each one another, my greatest sense of relief is that through it all - they had each other. Our brother was certainly watching over us. I am My Brother's Keeper, God(dess) is good, and now I can finally fall asleep. Just look how handsome, smart, and debonair they are! #proudbigbother #reunio#fostercare #orphans #mybrotherskeeper #mbkalliance #MBKHack #Haitian #Haiti #AfroLatino.
