Celebrity Sightings

The population in Botswana is about 1.8 million although the land mass is about the size of Texas. I can go to almost any part of the country, drop my Setswana surname and ask if they know of my family—and there’s a good chance that they do or could find out if they wanted. Since Botswana is so small people think America is too. It’s a safe assumption, I suppose. Several people are under the impression that I personally know stars, and if I don’t know them, I’ve surely seen them, right? I once claimed to be the lost member of Destiny’s Child, “Remember the chick in the “Girl” music video where they all sang together at brunch? That was me!” I slid into a frustrated fit of sarcasm and I’m not sure they bought it. Celebrity inquiries include: Brian McKnicght, Kanye West, Celine Dione, Beyonce, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and since, I’m from LA, I surely know who shot Tupac.
