About Me

Well I am a crazy, sexy, cool, Hip Hop, neo classic soul sista growing into womanhood. I am an African Centered part-time Intellectual proud Ghetto Girl who is trying not to take myself too seriously. I am a self proclaimed Geek! I am sensitive and passionate about my beliefs. I have a voice and I use it. I'm luv with with a stripper. Jusk kidding. I am really in love with my people. I'M A AFRICAN AND I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENIN! GIVE US, US FREE! I love to laugh but I know you have to cry sometimes. I love the potential of the blank page and the power of the words that fill it. I am dreamer. I love to use my imagination. Music is my medicine...it takes me to my highest high. I am a shorty do whop who loves to dance and I tend to talk a lot. Hell, I think I'm interesting. I love to read and one day I will write a book. Being a Woman is a beautiful thing and I embrace my inner goddess. What else? I don't know Im just me Lil Linda. (named for my Mama) I love all things positve and despise the evils of the world. Im freedom fighter in my own way and I live for the love of all. Oh yeah and Im dramatic!
