Love this Isabelle! And chuckling at "cousine d'la fesse gauche" -- which a former nun taught me when we were trying to figure out what number cousins we are. This SO resonates -- I sometimes wonder at the intersection of the experience of descendants of women of the Acadian diaspora and of enslaved African women.
How do you get the accent into Substack? My work around is to write a name in OpenText, then cut and paste it into Substack.
Someday, perhaps we can figure out where our ancestors intersect.
