About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Celebrate graduating from college before I return to school for my masters!

ABOUT ME

I am a strong woman of color. I am open minded, I do not judge people. I'm kind of a nerd I love to laugh, read, go for walks, dance and do fun stuff that doesn't cost money. I love to learn. I'm a very laid back go with the flow spontaneous kind of person. I love diversity and meeting all kinds of people with different interests and lifestyles. I love to eat a good meal with people the I care about.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live a humble life. I refuse to be just another consumer who buys whatever is cool at the time. I live simply and prefer to spend my money on experiences rather than junk. I will live my life respecting our mother earth and our ancestors who have came before us and the generations to come. I believe in breaking boundaries because our world is more than just black and white, there are many shades of grey in between.
