My Interests

Journalism: currently working on internships at Essence and ASME-two magazine enterprises. I'm debating about making a news anchor tape. I need to lose about 15 pounds though. Makeup artistry-anyone who needs their makeup done for photo shoots, weddings, and shows-holla at me! And singing on someone's tracks-it started off as a joke but I got talent so why waste it?

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet the genuine people I lost contact with in high school and college. I would love to connect with women who need a good, reliable makeup artist to help them break into the entertainment business or on their wedding day (it would help it I had photos of my work, right?) I need some funny and realistic people in my life so all those are welcome...
