My husband Kwadwo Asante and I came back to Vancouver after spending three years in Glasgow Scotland where he studied medicine. Our first daughter, Jackie, is holding my hand. I was pregnant with our second daughter in that picture.

It wasn’t a nice time to be interracially married!!!!  People spat on the street as we walked by, and slammed doors in our faces when we house-hunted. My husband (ex) who was raised by Presbyterian Missionaries in West Africa said, “If this is the result of 2000 years of Christianity I don’t need it”.
