About Me

Gracious...I am a few things. Namely, an Aunt, Daughter, Friend, Girlfriend, Cousin, Granddaughter and most importantly a GOD LOVING woman. It took about 28 years for me to realize who I was and what I need to do, who I wanted to be and what I wanted to accomplish. I am taking steps towards that by going back to school for what I actually want to do, being part of International Humanitarian organization, CARE, designing an event to empower young Philly girls in 2008 and tucking away all fear of stereotypes and labels. My focus is on women and girls, especially those that live below the poverty line - both internationally and nationally. My concentration with women and girls is sexual health, maternal health and mental health. My fight has taken me a few places, to some other countries and beyond. This is life, this is love, this is me.CARE's 2008 National Conference brought out over 400 attendees to Washington, DC for 2 days. On the second day, we held 241 Congressional meetings on Capitol Hill with our specified politicians, expressing to each the importance of addressing climate change and how it affects the poor, gender based violence and the hunger crisis. In the above video, CARE advocate explains to Pennsylvania Representative Alyson Schwartz the purpose of CARE and the importance of the USA taking a lead role in the global hunger crisis, gender based violence and the climate change as it affects the poor. _________________________________________________*Background images provided by CARE - we.care.org.*_______________________________________________ Established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2003, Cover Your Lover is an organization dedicated to reducing HIV/AIDS infections and other sexual transmitted diseases in the community by promoting abstinence, distributing protection, educating about sexual health and installing respect over the body of self and body of others.
