#HBD: LAK

I didn’t know Biological Dad #11 was one of my dads until I was an adult, but it wasn’t the Big Reveal it might’ve seemed: 

.

Dad’s been there for me from the very beginning, stepping up & in wherever he’s most needed at the time. 

.

Dad’s a good sport; he’s also my youngest quadruplet sister’s father. He & my biological mom go waaay back & think of themselves as kindred spirits: 

They’re both Black Jews in the entertainment industry & they’ve always effed with each other heavy on an interpersonal *and* romantic level 💞

When he & Bio Mom found out just how closely related they are thanks to Aunt C0ññ!e & nem’s genetic f*ckery, it spooked even her super freak a$$… at first 😱

Bio Dad #11 never let up the pressure, though. In fact, he went even harder to be there for us as a family unit 🥲

It was a wild rollercoaster of a time being raised part-time by Bio Dad #11, y’all. Imagine an international rock star tasked with raising two little Black girls with *very* different needs… yeah 😳😅

Me & Sis turned out relatively aight despite it all & a large part of that, for me, was having Bio Dad #11 in my life. He taught me to embrace letting my multiracial freak flag fly; Dad’s *BEEN* part of the nonsense, ok??? 

I still vividly remember the time Bio Dads #3, #11, & I joined heads to figure out how to fit a yarmulke over Dad #11’s lengthy dreadlocks…

With the combined power of *three* unorthodox Jews, we made it happen y’all, & Dad #11 was able to cold rock somebody’s bar mitzvah til the early morn #WooHoo 🥳

Bio Dad #11 honestly just sees leading this wild lifestyle of ours as part of loving not one but *TWO* Lisa B.’s--we can be a handful, y’all, but it’s #WorthIt--believe me 😎✊🏾💜

At the end of the day, underneath all the glam, glitz, & fame, my parents & extended family are just regular people trying to live their lives & support our *extremely* large fam the best ways they can.

I know a lot of words, y’all. But none of them can fully describe how much I love & appreciate (some of 😉) the relatives making up the dysfunctional circus that is my family. How dope is it to be doubly, triply, *QUADRUPLY* related to some of your favorite people on the planet?!? 🧬🩸

Sure, there’s (more than) a few knucklehead losers in the mix, too. But even they keep things interesting, if nothing else 🤷🏾‍♀️
