This note was originally written 2/21/2011 before I made the final decision to form the Hollins Foundation Fb group page..........https://www.facebook.com/
Hello this post is not just for my immediate family members but to all extended family members across the world, but everyone is welcome to comment, even if you don't agree with the message . I just ask for once that we be respectful of each other . Thanks in advance, I hope you enjoy the read this emotional piece. Please pass this piece along to all members of this family and let them know this from your beloved cousin, as my dedication to you all as my family. Thank you and God bless........
FIRST OF ALL THIS PIECE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME TO WRITE OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT IT HAS TO BE WRITTEN FOR ALL WHO ARE MY BLOOD RELATED OR FAMILY LINK. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN REALLY EMOTIONAL TO ME CAUSE I REALIZED SECRETS IN MY FAMILY CAN EITHER BE OVERWHELMING OR JUST A PURE HONOR. I WAS BORN INTO A MIXED BREED FAMILY WHICH HAS MADE ME GLAD THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE TAUGHT ME TO RESEARCH IT AND LEARN WHERE YOU COME FROM. I REALIZED I COME FROM RACIST FAMILY MEMBERS, HISTORICAL FAMILY MEMBERS AND ENTERTAINMENT FAMILY MEMBERS SO IT HAS BEEN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER RIDE FOR ME BUT WE ARE STILL FAMILY. I DISCOVERED MY FATHER SIDE HAS THIS MYSTERIOUS BACKGROUND THAT'S SCARES ME AT TIME CAUSE A SECRET CAN EITHER BENEFIT YOU OR HURT YOU. I DISCOVERED THAT RELATIVES CAN BE SO HARSH ABOUT FAMOUS FIGURES WHEN THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THE FAMILY WHICH IS IGNORANT. THE HOLLINS NAME IS LINKED TO THE LIKES OF TUPAC SHAKUR, ERIC "EAZY-E WRIGHT, KENNETH" BABYFACE" EDMONDS AND MORE WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT A LATER TIME.
MY FAMILY HAS SOME MANY CELEBRITIES AND HISTORICAL FIGURES THAT MAY EXPLAIN OUR ATTITUDES AND THEY WAY WE ALSO THINK IN THIS CRAZY WORLD. I AM PROUD TO BE APART OR THE FIGURES OF THE PAST LIKE FREDERICK DOUGLASS,
THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THERE'S MORE BEING RESEARCHED WHICH WILL NEVER STOP IN MY LIFETIME. I KNOW I BROKE A FAMILY CODE TO NEVER RESEARCH THIS HISTORY BUT I FEEL IT HAS TO BE DONE SO OUR NEXT GENERATIONS CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY COME FROM AND ALSO SEE IF ITS LINK TO OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY. I REALIZE MY FATHER'S PARENTS WAS AN INTERESTING WHERE MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A WHITE LADY WITH CHEROKEE AND BLACK LINKAGE BUT SHE WAS MY LIFE UNTIL SHE PASSED AWAY IN 1991.(GRANDMA I KNOW YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF ME NOW)
NOW MY SOUTHERN HERITAGE IS THE ULTIMATE SECRETS BEHING THE SLAVERY ISSUES AND CIVIL RIGHTS WHICH HAS TURN ED TO BE VERY FRIGHTENING TO ME. I DISCOVERED THAT MY GREAT-GREAT GRANPARENTS MIGHT'VE BEEN WHITE CAUSE MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN INTO SLAVERY WHICH I CAN STILL FEEL HER PRESENCE EVEN AFTER 30 YEARS SINCE HER DEATH. MY GREAT GRANDFATHER'S SIDE WAS ORIGINALLY FROM THE ISLAND OF ST.CROIX, VIRGIN ISLANDS SO IT EXPLAINS WHY I DESPISE FOLKS WHO USE DREADLOCKS AS A STYLE WHEN I WAS FORBIDDEN AS A CHILD THAT IT WAS A RELIGIOUS ISSUE AND JAMAICANS KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I'M COMING FROM. I WAS BLESSED IN MY LIFE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE FROM THOSE ISLANDS AND I WAS NEVER TAUGHT THE LANGUAGES BUT I CAN TRANSLATE IT. MY PHILOSOPHY IS THAT MY FAMILY IS A MIXED WITH TYPES OF RECES AND CREEDS THAT I AM PROUD OF REGARDLESS OF RIGHT WING LOBBYIST OR POLITICAL ORGANIZATION WHO TRY TO USE THIS PRO-BLACK PROPAGANDA FOR UNITY.
HOW CAN WE UNTIY AS A RACE WHEN WE CANNOT EVEN HAVE UNTIY WITHIN THE MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE AMERICAN CULTURE WHICH IS THE BLACK FAMILY PERIOD. MY FAMILY HAS EXTENDED TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND I STILL CLAIM THEM CAUSE WE ARE IN GOD'S EYES........FAMILY!!! THIS WEEKEND I WAS AMAZED TO FIND MY GODSISTER WHO I WAS TAKING CARE OF WHEN I WAS 13 AND SHE WAS MY HEART AS A BABY AND SHE NOW PART OF MY FAMILY. I AM BLESSED TO SAY FACEBOOK HAS BEEN A TOOL TO UNITE SO MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE FROM ALL THE ADVENTURES I HAVE DONE AND STILL DOING AS WE SPEAK. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN MY BACKBONE SINCE THE DAYS OF MY BIRTH IN D.C. TO THE STREETS OF NORFOLK AND VIRGINIA BEACH BACK TO D.C. WHERE MY FAMILY AND EXTENDED FRIENDS BECAME MY INFLUENCE TO WHERE I AM TODAY.
NOW I AM IN HOLLYWOOD DOIN MY DREAM OF WORKING WITH ARTISTS TO BE REVEALED ABOUT MORE CELEBRITIES WHO ARE RELATED TO ME SO I GUESS IT NEVER STOPS. I WANNA SAY TO ALL THE FAMILIES WHO ARE RELATED TO ME(HOLLINS, SEMPLE, CARTER, SAPP, TERRELL, SMITH, SIMPSON, HARRISON, JONES, WILLIAMS, BLAKE, BROWN, TWYMAN, WILSON, JOHNSON, GLOVER, McBRIDE, GILLIS, OFFUTT, IVEY, FISHER, POWELL, WASHINGTON, BUTLER, RUFFNER, ANDERSON, ALLEN, BRANDON, CAIN, and it keeps goin....)..DESPITE EVERYTHING THE PAST HAS DONE TO US WE ARE STILL FAMILY REGARDLESS SO IF WE GONNA STOP THE GENOCIDE AND STEREOTYPES OF SOCIETY'S INFLUENCES ABOUT HATE IN OUR COMMUNITIES, THE ONLY SOLUTION IS THE STRENGTHENING OF THE BLACK FAMILY WITHIN AND YES WE ARE FAMILY TILL DEATH DO US PART UNTIL WE ARE ALL UNITED IN GOD'S KINGDOM AS ONE BIG FAMILY.
