4. Hubby made an old photo like that into a poster for my birthday party.

Cherokee/Scottish gg-grandparents, white-looking son married light skinned AA/Muskogee/white girl, their daughter was a blue-eyed blonde. Also had a genealogy poster of grandma's side of the family that started in 1777 listing former slaves in the family tree. A guest whom we were just getting to know (and now ignore aggressively) came over and expressed her shock that I was willing to admit my heritage! "No reason to let this get out--you look completely white! How can you and not be embarrassed?"

Embrace your heritage! Love makes a person beautiful, no matter what skin-tone your genes carry.
