About Me



"Our deepest fear is not we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

My Interests

god/jesus (gotta live right), books by eric jerome dickey, toni morrison, poetry (gotta stay smart), music (gotta relax sometimes), shopping (gotta spend money...even when i don't have it), and whatever else keeps me interested

I'd like to meet:

Since I already know God and Jesus (we talk AT LEAST 10 times a day), I'd like to meet Nelson Mandela (in prison for 27 years? I can barely handle college for 4), Condolessa Rice (so I can tell her that that dark reddish brown lipstick that she's been wearing is definitely NOT her color... sorry, that's the diva in me :), and... umm.... my great-grandparents, because I never had the opportunity to talk meet them.

Music:

the good stuff, R&B (stevie wonder, donny hathaway, the sexy stuff like maxwell and eric benet [pre-sex addiction]...i'm an old soul), some rap (does anybody else but me think that 50 cent sucks???? cuz man....i like "candy shop" as a i'm-at-the-club-and-want-to-get-my-groove-on-song, but if you listen to it, HE SUCKS...but let me not start on the horribility of the music of our generation), john mayer ("so fatheeerrss, be gooooood to yoooour daaaaauuuughters..."), gospel, and whatever else sounds good at the moment (depends on my mood)

Movies:

the black ones (lol): love and basketball (USC...of course), brown sugar ("ur the perfect verse over a tight beat"...aww....somebody say that to me please:), spike lee movies, love jones, the wood......yeah....black movies

Heroes:

jesus, god, people who are overcomers like my grandparents and parents, my friends who are battling for everything that comes to them

My Blog

I HATE WASTING TIME!!!

Time is important... If I haven't learned anything else in college, I've learned that time is something you can never get back, so take advantage of every second.  This is why the idea of going t...
