Hi Christine, thanks for the question.
The short version of my answer is that I'm from Snellville, Georgia, a small town down South, where "everybody is somebody." And when I was growing up, it certainly felt like that at times. Now it's grown tremendously and I'm sure one could easily lead a truly anonymous life within its confines.
The longer answer is that I'm from Snellville, Georgia via Seattle, Washington via Vancouver, Canada, moved to New York City when I was 18 (god, that feels like a lifetime ago) for college and never left. I've now lived in the NYC area longer than I ever lived down South; however, everyone that meets me immediately asks where I'm from because of my accent. It's not strong, but it's noticeable enough to make for a conversation starter.
And the longest answer is that my parents are originally from India, moved to Canada where I was born, then did a stint in Seattle before planting permanent roots in Georgia. But instead of listening to my babble here, you should just read the blog post I did on it: http://madhuriblaylock.wordpress.com/...
Hope that answers your question, Christine. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you've got any more you'd like to ask, by all means, go for it.
Cheers!
