In the flesh...

About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
I decided to 'upgrade' my page starting with a new background and actually answering this 'about me' section. There's alot about me, that I still haven't figured out fully, so therefore this section will be incomplete until further development in my young life.
Some things I know for sure, my love for God is strong, and I love my family and friends.
I'm a writer (for two teen magazines) who can put pen to paper (finger to keyboard) and create a masterpiece (or so I'd like to think lol) But ask me about a certain issue, and I'm likely to fumble over words.
I have flaws like anyone else, and sometimes there easily discernable, but most of the time I do a pretty good job of hiding them with my charming personality ;-). I'm a happy, sarcastic, silly, serious, fly (yes fly), intelligent, sassy, witty, young lady, in addition to all those other great adjectives most people use to describe themselves.
I'm all about positivity. Positive people surround me, and they should surround you as well, but that's another topic for another blog.
I'll probably never put an "ass" picture on Myspace, but you will see a number of smiling poses. I'll complete this some other time. It's late...
Oh yea, I was born in the B_X_, but both my parents are from Ghana. I just say I'm African..:-) that is all...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Not really on here to meet people for 'social' purposes. BUT if you're in a 'professional' (subject to many interpretations :-) industry , following your true passion while trying to get that next dollar and staying true to your morals and ideals, you're my type of person :-).
