About Me


Created by Crazyprofile.com
Breathing Rhythms Of Authenticity, We Are All Restless Stars.Thanks for stopping by! Here's a little bit about myself. I am 101 years old as I said on my profile, don't I look good for my age? That's cause I laugh a lot. I laugh most when things are most f**ked up in my own life (not in others) but a handsome man (one in particular) with a mega sense of humor can make me lose my breath as well. I had a long career as a iceshow skater, dancer, and singer . I've traveled to many places and had a blast. I've been featured in commercials, television and independent films. I enjoyed performing in the theatre as well. I am retired from my first career and started the building blocks for my next one still in entertainment/activism. I have been involved in activisim projects concerning community issues for many years. The last years have kept me busy to become the best mom I can be to my little goddess/daughter-Chan Dara (moon and star). She saved my life. She is my greatest teacher.
I have many people who live inside of me and sometimes I even wish I didn't have so many to give attention to. I have a wide range of tastes and love to go where it is least likely to be familiar to me. Food is a lover and you can find me craving Senegalese, Thai and Indian dishes on the daily.
In my travels I have learned more about others from backgrounds different from myself but I have learned much more about myself, what has been placed apon me and how my path has changed dramatically from how I was raised originally. My heart still lies in Senegal where I had the opportunity to live with the Senegalese, dance, drum and cook in their culture. They are the kindest, happiest people as a whole, that I have ever been blessed to meet. They have little to nothing materially but everything in spirit and loving. I highly recommend the trip to recognize what is really important. Not to mention to go to Africa you will see that there are many things that transcended and could never be lost from Africa to America.
I am on myspace to connect and support other like-minded individuals who have integrity and vision. There are real human beings behind these monitors and I have discovered many that excite me to know. Everyone has a story worth sharing and learning from. Evolution is always viable. We are all a part of each other. Receiving is just as important as giving to keep the Universal exchange from halting. As long as there is any type of movement we can grow. Peace to you and may you be in the moment of every part of your own journey.
