About Me

2008 has been some kind of blessing for me!! I feel so embraced by the universe. My main goal is life is to be happy. I have A MILLION goals for my life, although I know that my plan is not THE plan. I truly believe that God has great things in store for me, and I can't wait until they manifest!! I'm a professional dancer and a teacher with JOURNEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER and it's awesome! I run a mentoring program for inner city youth. I'm a scholar, and a revolutionary in training. I am underestimated sometimes, but it doesn't bother me because the proof is always in the pudding. I'm never what you would expect... For those of you who do not know, I have chosen a new name. Jaali (be powerful) Isikhulukaze (lady of quality). It is still okay to call me Chanel, I just ask that you respect the name I have chosen for myself. Thank you kindly! lol..

I wear a mean dark pair of shades.

I wear them partially to keep the sun out, and partially to keep the world from seeing tired eyes. Life is tiring and I'm not sure what to do about it. People say you shouldnt run from your problems. ...

I’m not wasting my energy anymore

They say that youre not really over something/someone if you see it/him/her and it brings all of your old emotions back. Yesterday, I was on the shuttle and it drove by a girl that I feel wronged me. ...
