Yvonne Nelson, an actress, wrote a letter to her biological father, whom she has never seen and does not yet know. She exposes facts of her past in her memoir, “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” which have generated controversy online. If her biological father is still alive, she says she wants to talk to him.
Yvonne faced insulting remarks as a youngster due to the nearly four decades she spent living under a fake identity, including being referred to as a “abanoma” (stepchild) because of her unidentified absentee father. She discusses her emotional issues in a chapter titled “A Letter to My Father,” writing, “Dear Dad, I cannot tell you how many times I have cried because I do not know you.”
Yvonne insists that her wish to know her father has nothing to do with receiving any property and continues to believe that he is still alive. She hopes to cross his path before he passes away since she thinks he is still alive. If he sees her, Yvonne hopes that he will not ignore her but rather approach and identify himself.
The actor confesses that she had been using the alias “Yvonne Nelson” but now realizes she is not who she claims to be. She longs to learn the family name she was born with and thinks it would have been very different if she had known her father. She thinks that after nearly four decades of searching, her book will lead her to him.
As she seeks a deeper understanding of herself, Yvonne ends by expressing her desire to see and speak with her father. She makes a reference to King Ayisoba’s song “I Want to See You, My Father” and reiterates her wish to speak with her father and find out more about who she is.
