My incredible KIDS (they NEVER stop amazing me), writing, Television (slightly addicted), films, reading, and working out (but only when I feel like it according to my hubby). I enjoy travelling, spa days, and shopping (recovering shopaholic in a 1-step non negotiable program w/hubby known as: STOP $PENDING or ELSE!). I also love having some good CHOICH!Nothing better than feeling good from the inside out!
Professionally: All Media...I love journalists! Okay..truth be told I NEED journalists! Personally: JESUS (He changed my life), Oprah, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Diana Ross-I would love to tell her story on the silverscreen, Shonda Rhimes, Don Cheadle (luv da brotha), Terrence Howard (not exactly a groupie-but I scream on the inside when he hits the screen), My CURRENT FAVORITE (not-so)secret crush---Idris Elba, JJ Abrams (boy genius), and Eve-no not the rapper, but the one who was chillin' with Adam in the garden. Just one question--"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO EAT THE FRUIT???"
I LOVE Gospel, but enjoy anything that speaks DA truth set to a nice beat!
