I just received my first passport via snail mail this past weekend and I am ecstatic! I now have a newfound freedom contained in the palm of my hands. As long as I have a few dollars, my passport and an open mind, I am geographically boundless. Oh, I’ve traveled before to several states, Bermuda, and Mexico (before passports were mandated), but this gives me access to so much more.

I am multiethnic – African-American (which all on it’s on could be considered multiethnicJ) and African. My paternal roots are buried in the warm soil of Nigeria and I am a first generation Nigerian here in America. I feel it is now time for me to visit my other home and this passport will help facilitate that. The trip is scheduled for the end of December, during winter break. This will be the first of many overseas escapades and I am sure I will have many interesting stories to share with you.
