About Me
First off, I am a spiritual being. I seek to attain my maximum potential. Thus, I am a poet, songwriter,vocalist, artist, entrepreneur. . .I am a teacher...I wear many hats. I've been on a bit of a hiatus since I've become a parent. I have two beautiful daughters, Paris and Jermenia. It's been a challenge but, I think I'm about ready to get back on tha grind. I'll have pics soon. Please be patient with me.For those of you who are new to Mama Earth. . .
