About Me

In short: I'm a proud FAMU grad from the Bronx. I am also a proud mommy. I edit for both American Legacy and American Legacy Woman magazines in New York City. I also do contracts, licensing and some event planning. In addition, I am also a teacher, a freelancer for various publications and independent consultant and editor. I love to travel and have been to quite a few places which include Japan, London and Trinidad and Tobago, however I have many more destinations to cross off my list. I also do some modeling in NYC and dance with the Joyce Harrigan Dance Academy and Sygnatuer Dance Movement.There's so much more to me, but the only way to discover that is to know me. I have lots of thoughts, views, visions and experiences to share with the world. Godwilling I will fulfil my destiny!....

My Interests

I love to go the movies - most of the time alone because I get tired of waiting for people to see what I want to see. I also just love the smell of popcorn.
