About Me

What about me do y'all wanna know? I'm a 5'7" black female with 2 boys and a girl on the way. I graduated from a trade school in May 2005. I am a Certified Medical Assistant. I'm a current student of Morgan State University. I'm going for Elementay Education so i can teach the kiddies. Eventually, I'm goin back to start Africana Studies. It seems like I don't know as much as i could about our people. And i always feel like if i study our being and culture, that i could put that towards finding a new way to educate our youth about certain issues today. I like pickin brains to see what people are working with, and if you don't seem like you are willing to make a change in certain things you are doing, then i feel as though you are one of the lost ones.Well enough about school and all that. WELL, a lil more about me...I like writing, i sing a lil bit, do a lil flow every now and then. I'm not the type of person to keep shit going if theres conflict. Like my relatioship with my kids father...We just weren't meant to be. But we are still very much cool and we deal with our situation as friends and not enemies. My point is...sometimes beefin just isn't necessary. We walkin around bitter about what someone has done to you...that people seem to be bitter with everyone. Wake up....! You are bitter with the wrong ones. Be mad with the people who have the power to make change and won't do it. Be upset with out President for starting wars over petty shit, and makin it seem like it was some world wide shit, knowing damn well it was more personal than anything. And that's real...Open your eyes to reality and get out of that mental slavery. They still got our people in chains. And we feel like this is the only way. You Have the choice to Change the outcome of your life...Think about it...Bein free and still enslaved in society's BS.

I listen to R&B, Hip Hop, Oldies, 70's, 80's, 90's, some alternative, some classical. Really, anything that sounds good and has a good meaning...

Television:

Kindness

Kindness is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You want someone who will go through everything with you - the best moments and the worst, and all of those other moments in between. You love to be able to say anything to your partner, and have them say anything to you. You are able to be extremely close with your partner for that reason.

Books:

Heroes:

I haven't really gotten to picking out a hero. I can relate to just about everybody as long as what they're doing is positive. Like Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Malcom X and Martin Luther king Jr.
