I'm basically a Black Baptist grandmother and a Wall Street mogul in a Chinese girl's body. I'm mostly sass and sarcasm, I blame my Chinese (sarcasm) and Southern (sass) upbringing. Adventure is my love but reason is my guardian. I'm impulsive and once I've made a decision, I'll follow though. However, this doesn't mean I make act without thought and caution. My mother would kill me if I ever did anything absolutely stupid, and trust me, she's scarier than any potential danger.

Likes: beer, whiskey, raves, concerts, festivals, honesty, witty banter, cooking, any kind of food, black coffee, cigars, politics, foreign affairs, technology

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned English and grew up in the South (Alabama and Georgia) and not come out with a Southern accent or racially scarred.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some recipes and would love to learn some as well! I'm down to try anything, I can't think of any particular skill sets I can teach but maybe they'll come to mind once there's a live interaction.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and feeding people! It's the Chinese mom in me...I can't help it, it's like instinct.
