I'm a very keen reader with interests ranging from fiction to non fiction. I'm currently reading a book about black on black crime in England and its a real eye opener.

I'd like to meet:

there are so many great people that i'd love to meet.....from the famous to the infamous....but to name a few......i'd love to meet Mary J Blige and ask her how is it she can read my mind?....i'd love to meet Booker T Washington and ask him just how did he maintain his dignity and demand such high regard in the face of adversity........i would love to meet Oprah....a strong black woman inspiring us all......who else?.....will smith, Taye Diggs, Denzel....how do they stay so fine???

Music:

I love Mary J Blige, Beverley Knight, Masquerade, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder, Eighties soul, lil bit of reggae but not bashment.Music is so important for me...it reaches my heart, mind and soul. I love it!

Movies:

Last movie I saw was Premonition with Sandra Bullock....Didn't enjoy it ...at all i'm afraid...not really a movie buff...but i wil cry at a tearjerker...

Television:

Don't watch much but am intrigued by the shenanigans on Desperate Housewives..

Books:

Anything....everything....reading is knowledge and knowledge is power......keep reading.
