About Me

Born and raised in Winnipeg, MB, my home community is Cross Lake, Manitoba (Pimicikamak Cree Nation), I can say I've done a lot in my life and have come a long way, learned from my mistakes, made healthy decisions to better myself and my family.... I remember someone saying you have to have GUTS - Get Uncomfortable To Succeed...My interest in modeling sparked at a young age, it was my grandmother who encouraged me to try it out at the age of fifteen. At the same time, my father gave my sister and I the gift of a hand drum and since then, performed throughout the community. I love sharing my story behind the drum along with the knowledge passed on from my elders, sharing the many experiences to people throughout my travels. Honestly, it was the greatest gift ever recieved, cause it's something I can pass on to my children and I'll always carry with me. For as long as I can remember , Culture has always been in my life. My parents are great teachers, a huge influence and major support, where I am grateful they are in my life. My tremendous talents include not only singing traditional music, public presentations, modeling but Cultural awareness and involvement, being a role model, parenting, independent living, public performances and a dedication to getting the best out of life.

My Interests

Where can I begin with what my interests are. Here goes: Family, Friends, Photography, Modeling, Organizing/Participating in Fashion Shows, My son and daughter: Listening to all the stories of adventure Daysin can tell me, making Jayla laugh and watching Treehouse TV with her (and I have to admit singing along with all the kiddie songs just to hear her cute little laugh), watching movies (except for the corny flicks), all 4 seasons - especially fall, Dry wings and Franks hot sauce, Singing, humming new melodies, music, my hand drum and the beautiful sound it makes, visiting my home community and sitting by the lake, boat rides, snowmobiling in the Winter (when visiting the rez.), fishing, swimming, the feeling after a good run, Dr. Pepper, traveling, sounds of mother nature, meditation, would like to try belly dancing, trying new foods, oh the list goes on...

I'd like to meet:

Models, Fashion Designers, Photographers, Make Up Artists, Stylists.... I still want to meet Bob Barker.

Music:

I LOVE all sorts of music... such as oldies like THE EAGLES (reminds me of when I was young and my family would be on the road and we'd listen to that forever, one of my favorite childhood memories), a lil bit of everything, but most of all I love hearing the beautiful sounds of the drum and songs, no sound like it.

Movies:

    Action Comedy Horror Movies Some drama... lol
Or any movie that is believable, instead of some cheezy, phoney flick!

Television:

Fashion Television, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Sex and the city, America's/Canada's Next Top Model, Roseanne, Oprah, Racheal Ray, Dr. Phil (sometimes), Can't wait for the next season of Hell's Kitchen!

Books:

Heroes:

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥My mother, for the strong woman that she is. My father, for being the wonderful man he is and the love that he has for his family.♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥My son Daysin and daughter Jayla, for teaching me the many things about life. I'd go to extremes for them. Any good parent would.♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
