Auntie Donnie (Doanita Simmons)
Nov. 13, 1958

Auntie Donnie was like a second mom to me growing up. If I wasn’t at home, I was at her and Uncle John’s house with my cousins, Mary and Nick.

As an adult, I learned we share the same adventurous spirit. Looking back, I know now that’s one of the reasons I loved being around her so much.

Some of my fondest memories are of her coming from Chicago to pick me up for summers at their house. We’d take the train from St. Louis to Chicago, and she always packed a cooler full of food and ginger ale for the trip. Between the homemade charcuterie boards and the ginger ale, I always felt so fancy with her. To this day, ginger ale still reminds me of those special train rides with Auntie Donnie.

“I am Phillip Hamer. I carry my father’s last name, but I’m a Whittier by blood. This is the family that raised me. This is My Black History.

3729 Hebert—the home where my foundation was built. At the heart of a neighborhood where 90% of the block was my blood, our home was the heartbeat of it all. Hebert Street wasn’t just a place; it was an experience that shaped me.

Grateful to my ancestors and elders for everything they’ve given me.

All month, I’ll be sharing My Black History.

We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams. ✨
