About Me

"The adjective to describe my greatness has not yet been invented..." - DRH 11/18/05
"Keep... it... FUNKY!" - Poppin' Pete
"Faith kills fear. Fear kills faith." - KRS One 02/08/07
“I think music and dance are some of the most important cultural investments we have. I don’t care what type of a person you are; everyone has a song that makes them say, ‘This is me, this is how I feel.’ It moves them. Whether you’re a singer, a dancer or something else entirely, music is rhythm, it’s our heartbeat. Music is life.” - Savion Glover

My Interests

Travel (favorites so far- New York, Austin, Sweden, Italy, Japan, The Rock Boat). Dance (lindy hop, charleston, tap, jazz, hip hop, lockin, b-girlin, capoeira, poppin, punkin, house, samba, african, salsa & other cultural/street dances). Music (bass players unite- thanks, Dela). Acting (Meisner technique & Daniel Henning's The Core). Photography. Shopping (sneakers, HeM bags, oh & just about anything else). Jewelry design/casting. Food. Yoga. Pilates. Penguins (who wants to go to Antarctica?!)...

I'd like to meet:

**Heroes that will help me fight leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, myeloma & other blood cancers. I never thought I'd actually like running, but in 2006, I joined Team in Training to help raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In 2007 I completed the Pacific Shoreline Half-Marathon, LA Marathon & Nike Women's Half-Marathon, & with the help of some amazing friends, raised over $4400 for LLS. Check out my last TNT page - see how you too can make a difference & help change lives!
