What's there to say? I've come into recent popularity because of my recent appearance on the show One Thin Dime. Anyone who watched the show knows all about me and my social politics. I'm finishing my doctorate and writing a dissertation so I don't really have time to "Space" like I'd like.

My Interests

Feminism, womanism, equality in gender studies, political science, safe sex, HIV awareness, Black women's health issues

I'd like to meet:

Thanks fellas but I have a man. We can always be friends but PLEASE respect me and my relationship or you will find yourself very quickly on my blocked list. Ladies, let's bond, let's build, let's network so that we can become more empowered. Let's put aside the petty and trivial differences and embrace the similarities we have as women of color in our struggle to end our oppression and objectification.

Music:

Billie Holiday, Josphine Baker, Lena Horne, Ma Rainey, Teena Marie,

Movies:

The Lake House, Crash, The Color Purple (of course), Memoirs of a Geisha

Television:

I HATE with a passion Flava of Love, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Next, Joe Millionaire, BET, basically anything in which women are made to look like money grubbing tramps.

Books:

In Loving Color, The Temple of my Familiar, The Women of Brewster Place, The Bluest Eye, How to Rent a Negro, Long Train to the Redeeming Sin, Divas Don't Yield , Don't Believe the Hype

Heroes:

Kola Boof, Soraya Mire, damali aya, Andrea Martin, Farai Chideya, bell hooks, Soujourner Truth, Shirley Chisholm, Jill Nelson, Maxine Waters, Audre Lorde, Black Artemis, Zora Neale Hurston, and Anita Hill if I'm feeling particularly generous on any given day for her choice to speak truth to power.
