About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace LayoutsI am someone's daughter, granddaughter, sister, neice, aunt, cousin,friend,ex-girlfriend,co-worker neighbor and citizen of the world. If you were to ask all of these people to whom I belong,"Who is Mechande?" They would probably say she is: Charasmatic, charming, loving, affectionate, hilarious,driven, determined,a hustler, a friend, a good lover, bull-headed, a neat freak, an awsome cook, a dog lover, a person who handles her business, a person with the gift of the "gab",a person who knows A LOT of people, but only keeps a select few close, protective of those I care for, a praying person,an honest person, a crative person and in all of these described characteristics- I am that and so much more... I am simply Mechande. My roots are deeply planted in the center of Black Intelegencia A.K.A. "The Mecca" B.K.A. where Kalis discovered her "Milk Shake on the Yard" forever and always HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!Every monrin' I get up tryin' to figure out how to make this day better than yesterday's. Often, I evaluate my decisions; some good and other's not, but I try not to beat myself up too bad over them.By nature, I am a hustler,it comes naturally to me- I get it from my Daddy. Not in the negative since of the word, but from the humanistic perspective of the word. We are all trying to live out our dreams of something better, something greater than what is, something more than just _____________. As with most everything I do, I do it with passion, vigor, courage, determination,love,honesty and style... "I make it do what it do baby..."

My Interests

I love hangin'with my friends, goin' to shows or concerts, maybe a movie that's worth seeing, Catching up with old friends, cookin' big ole country breakfasts' on Sunday.
