Me and my Caucasian friends at Mercer and a few friends I went to AAMH program with would joke that if I were a cake I’d be a chocolate cheesecake. It’s a joke that started when I was a student at Mercer from 1998-2007. It continued with my friend Lori Ann from AAMH. Lori Ann said it was her birthday a few years ago and Fred Howard a mutual male friend told Lori “happy birthday have a slice of chocolate cheesecake”. Lori said he wouldn’t let her choose plain cheesecake or strawberry cheesecake. Lori had no choice but to have a slice of chocolate cheesecake. Fred insisted that she eat that on her birthday.
