Traveling to different countries to discover new people and ways of living;I love trying foods of different ethnicities;I like trying new things that I've never done before;I love meeting new and interesting people and establishing new relationships;I don't discriminate, I love all races and people with same and different likes, personalities, interests and goals;I am interested in growing as a woman and I am one who is excited about the potential of women crossing barriers that had once been off limits to us as a gender...so I am interested in networking with someone or an organization that offers empowerment of the female race;I'm interested in visiting Italy again and again and again! Bella Amor!

Here are my favorite TV shows:Frazier (I love this show's intellectual humor, "Dear God"), The Unit, Friends, Girl Friends, Cheaters, America's Next Top Model, Trading Spouses...when I'm watching television.
The Bible; Women, Gender, and Human Rights; Secrets to the Millionaire Mind; The 48 Laws of Power. I'm still reading The 48 Laws of Power and I read the Bible regularly. There are other books I'm reading...won't list them just now or until I have picked them back up and I'm actively reading them.
Aside from Jesus, the ULTIMATE HERO TO ALL HUMANITY....my GREATEST HERO IS MY MOTHER, DR. SHARON GRAHAM FROM CHICAGO, IL.... She's the greatest in my book. Showed me tough love even when I thought she should have come differently...now I realize it was best and has made the powerful, strong woman I am today. Through hardships I've survived because of her example. Because she didn't fall under the pressures of life, I'm seeing that I am not falling either....IT'S A PART OF MY DNA.My niece, Angelica is my hero too. She's the best! She's risen above obstacles to become a great young lady with multiple talents and she's tapping into those giftings and becoming a success in each one. YOU GO GIRL!My sister, Mary is my hero...she didn't give up. She stuck it out and is still sticking it out. You now what!? Don't mess with her big sidda, she'll come for ya. She does not like anyone messing with me. She fights for me in more ways than one...My dad is my hero... In school we were picked on quite a bit. Most of the times we were scared to death to fight the kids because they seemed so big and able to pound us into the ground. OH BUT WHEN DADDY SHOWED UP...It was on. Remember when JJ on Goodtimes (the TV sitcom) was being bulled in the hallway of his apartment building and his father stepped out the door to see the boys man-handling him? James' nostrils flared open wide enough for a freight train to pass through them...he wasn't playin...no dudes were going to jump his son. When James came, JJ jumped bad and started swinging at the dudes as his dad stood in front of him taking on the bad guys. That's just how it was with us. We knew J.R. wasn't going to allow anybody to hurt us. We jumped bad when he was there....on but Lord have mercy, I certainly did hope the kids had amnesia the next day when we were on the playground without daddy.....(HA! HA! HA!), those were the days. My dad is still my hero.
