My grandmother. Scarborough, Toronto. Fall, 2010.
i absolutely LOVE THIS PHOTO. grandma is wearing a sick gradient coat with a facial expression that screams “I DONT GIVE A FUCK!” word.
think about it… there’s probably so many eldery folks who immigrate with their kids and end up in scarborough. they’re ignored by politicians, working folk, and hell, even their own families. scarborough is home to so many immigrant families and most of the time, its the grandparents holding it down while we run tings and live our lives. there’s something to be said around being a senior, an immigrant, and creating a new life in our humble scarborough. they all have a story.
i’m a proud scarberian who was raised by her granny.
so talk to your grandparents, learn their stories and experiences, and lemme hear all about it!
