About Me

Greetings and blessings loved ones!My Umi says SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THE WORLD! Those who know me know I am little crazy, a lot loud, love to laugh and fete…and as for dancing and performing, it is the reason I am who I am. This life of mine is overflowing with the love and support of friends, family and God. Happiness, love, satisfaction and laughter tend to be a first priority. My friends – the inner circle - are my lifeline. My family supports me like no other. My faith is essential and God is my ever present guide. As my dreams become reality they get bigger and bigger and seeing them come true is a gift that brings me to my knees in thanks! My life has been blessed, so happy, full of adventure, travel, and life changes. I’ve lived in Guyana, South America, Grenada, West Indies, Eritrea, East Africa, Virginia and New York. And Oh! The places I’ve been! From St. Kitt’s to Barcelona to Thailand (and so many in between!). From whining in the streets at carnival to a public speech…from holding a conversation with a Prime Minister to being onstage in front of thousands…to sitting alone in my room for a well needed rest, cry, reflection to writing a story - my heart and soul is diverse. As I would say in “Latin/Caribbean”: Carpe diem and have a time!And when the challenges come, they always turn out to be for the best simply because the Universe, the Higher Power, My God and GuiDance trusts me to see it through…so I do, and suddenly I am even better than before! Scene Jelly Bean?! Niceness! BLESS!My PASSIONS are: 1) Performing Arts (dance especially and theatre). I truly feel transcendence in certain performances when I know audiences are affected and moved.2) Observing, absorbing, loving and living life, especially with certain friends that make it oh so easy to see the beauty and brilliance of it.3) My family.Some words to describe me: passionate, impatient, dedicated, honest, strong, intrepid, supportive, a little short tempered at times (see "impatient"), competitive, driven, life's lover, God's Child/Man's Sinner.Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts

My Interests

I'm interested in a lot of things...por ejemplo...seeing the world (2006...from Italy to Thailand), new challenges like walking the top of the Macau Tower (China) OUTSIDE...200+ metres up or figuring out a city like Milan or Seoul, things that give me a rush like roller coasters, things that make me reflect like the ocean, the sunset and tiny babies, things that expand my mind like traveling and exploring, things that make me happy like spending time with family and the best of friends, sharing tears, fears, hopes, memories, laughter and a good drink, things like going home, sitting on the beach, remembering where and what I am from...more typically, writing (short stories/recounts of experiences), taking pics, dancing at a real good fete (that's "party" for those that don't know), dancing in the streets (ay yai yai - carnival!), dancing on stage, dancing in my house ...with someone...or by myself! Pursuing, ACHIEVING, MAINTAINING, SURPASSING!!

I'd like to meet:

STILL gettin' used to this whole MYSPACE scene. I did meet an Angel. Can you believe it?!? Real and true. So...I'm staying. Good to see old friends...and nice to make new ones...especially the artists who have brought to me GOOD much needed music music, artistry, poetry, fashion designs and more. What I'm sayin' is...*GASP*...MySpace has proved INSPIRING!!

Music:

All that follows are but a slice of my life's pie: reggae, soca/calypso, r&b, salsa, cultural/indigenous, original movie scores, some show tunes, some jazz...but especially...anything that moves me or stirs my mind to dance.For example: Rihanna's Riddims Make me Move My Waistline! At this rehearsal Rihanna worked on her skill set with Bajan choreographer Trevor Priddee. This is after she was signed and just before blowing up! .. width="425" height="350" ..

I love movies!
