About Me

aquarius with aries rising and moon in capricorn.i have spent most of my life running around as an political activist, grassroots organizer and cultural worker. the past 4 and a half years, i have slowly remolded my identity and my purpose on earth to be a mother. and it is a blessing. my daughter is my greatest political work and creative contribution i could ever have dreamed of participating in. and in slowing down to focus on her, i have been able to slow down and focus on ME...instead of trying to throw myself into the politricks and play a role in changing to block, the community, the city, the state, the country and the world on the outside, i am changing, growing, evolving myself. and in doing so, i am contibuting to the movement from a differnet angle...transforming into a better person, tapping into my personal power, and trying to create a family that will continue to fulfill our unfinished legacy for true freedom for generations to come...and on my spare time, i chill with my people....break bread. talk politics and religion and the future. listen to music. dance till the sun comes up. build on whatever - self employment/jewelry/art/the word. write. hit up open mics. go to the park, the mountains, the ocean. squeeze in time to pamper myself.
