Danielle Wellington Lalonde here. A five-foot-eleven, short-haired and green-eyed, light-skinned Black woman of Jamaican and Irish descent living in the City of Toronto, Canadian Province of Ontario. I was born in the City of Galway, Republic of Ireland, on the first day of May of 1957. My father Liam Wellington was White and my mother Deirdre Jackson was Black. They met in the Republic of Ireland and moved to North America a long time ago. Just a pair of globe-trotting photographers in love. I've lived in my native Ireland as well as the United States of America, the Confederation of Canada and parts of the Caribbean but I consider myself a Citizen of Canada, first and foremost. It's the place my family and I call home these days.
You see, I've lived in the Confederation of Canada for the past thirty five years. I am happily married to Clifford Lalonde, a big and tall, handsome Black man originally from the City of Cap-Haitien in the Republic of Haiti. We met in downtown Montreal a long time ago, fell in love and got married. We have two sons, James and Louis, and a daughter named Muriel. They're all university-educated, hard-working professionals. We have a lovely life together and a happy home. Proof that Black male/Black female couples can and do stay together. Black Love is not dead, folks. It is still very much possible between Black men and Black women today. I guess it all depends on your level of commitment. My man Clifford and I got it going on, as they say. However, now that our nest is empty we are seriously rekindling our passion.
My hubby and I are in our fifties. Our sons and daughter are grown and moved on with their lives. Our eldest son James is an account manager with the Royal Bank of Canada. He makes decent money, and recently got married to a lovely young woman of Chinese descent, Amelia Chang. They have a brat on the way. How about that? My Clifford and I are about to become grandparents! Our other son Louis is currently a mathematics teacher within the York Public School System. He lives with his boyfriend Niles in a nice apartment within that charming little city. The revelation of Louis bisexuality kind of surprised us, considering he was engaged to a pretty White gal named Joanna mere months before meeting Niles. I guess the heart wants what it wants. Our daughter Muriel got engaged to a charming young man of Haitian and Scottish descent, Luke Connery. Yeah, our family is doing alright. All the more reason for my Clifford and I to have some wicked fun while we still can.
