Aunt Margery
Aunt Margery, a stoic, aloof, and outspoken retired librarian from the Southern United States, is a black woman who comes to our house every Sunday.
She is respected in the community for her activism during the Civil Rights Movement.
She quietly corrects my family's comments and I always feel stupid because of the way she does it.
She enjoys gardening and reading mystery novels, but dislikes loud noises and crowds.

Well, for starters, you keep using the term "African-American" when referring to yourself. It's preferred to use the term "black" or "Afro-Latino" if you're of mixed heritage.
And please, stop calling yourselves "people of color." It's derogatory and reductionist. Just say "black people" or "Latinos" if you must refer to our groups en masse.
