Description: One day, as a 17-year-old snooping through her mother’s drawer, Ranada Shepard discovered she was adopted. Ranada's sense of identity immediately shifted and has continued to evolve after learning about her biological family and Cuban heritage. Now as a mother of three, Ranada has developed a deep understanding of what it truly means to be family.

It’s very sad that your mother did this to you knowing the history of Black peoples being stolen from Africa not knowing where they come from.
