Boogie...a 70's Superfunkstress

The point of power is always in the present moment - Louise Hay

About Me

I am a full-blooded Aquarian with all that goes with that! I have roots in the islands, south in my mouth, but BK is where my heart is...I love people and animals and THE ARTS. Generally I'd like to see all people evolve into the giving, loving, godly beings that we truly are by nature - as we hurt others, we hurt ourselves.
I practice a meditative chi gong cultivation to keep me connected to spirit.
At heart, I am a re-incarnated peace-nik who walks the line between the progressive urban underground (u know who u are)...and those that control the purse-strings. I straddle these two worlds to bring them together for meaningful change --- we are constantly "Driving a more human n-gen through lifestyle design"
beat-nik culture is the message - technology is the medium - u and i are the active ingredients.
I have been working in music and marketing (consumer insights, brand development and strategy) for the last 10 years and am steadily working my way over to content development (film and television) with my partner Schui ----
