About Me


"The angel of the Family is Woman. Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity."
I'm from the Cali burbs by way of Oakland/San Fran, LA, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Kingston Jamaica, Port of Spain Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Panama, Guyana, Anguilla, St. Martin, Bahamas, Uganda, Nairobi Kenya, Canada, UK, Sweden, New York $hitty, E. Flatbush/Ft. Greene/Williamsburg/Bed Stuy Brooklyn. In past and present lives, I have been a biologist, an international marketing manager, a student of UCSB/NYU/School of Hard Knocks, a freelancer at MTV Networks, the director of publicity and project manager at VP Records, a freelance publicist for artists and producers, a beat shopper, a freelance writer and a full time hustler. All the while, I maintain that I'm a ride or die chick, bosslady, wife, mommy, and the one who holds it down. No guts, no glory... I'm in it to win it. I keeps it healthy, vegetarian and doing my best at a holistic East meets West lifestyle... healthy, conscientious urban living with some unconventional ideas and practices mixed in!
"The nature of Queen is not the superficial. It is the pouring of love. She is a woman of self-sacrifice, benevolence and serenity. She has the power to improve your best and reverse your worst. She is royal in effort and magnificent in effect. Never detract from her because she is Supreme in Consequence. You would do better to love her for the Queen she is. This is why men are judged as individuals and nations are judged by the stature of their women. A nation can rise no higher than its woman. Respect her, Protect her, Educate and Elevate her. She is Queen!"
