About Me

An urban yogini who spends mornings making liquid music, afternoons dancing to an orchestra of dandelions, and evenings tagging the city with my spray canned mantras. A color crazed painter who dreams in black and white. A multidimentional intuitive sista who learned long ago that if you've got one foot in the present and one foot in the past then you're peeing on today. An Ethiopian-American internationalist who thinks in Spanglish, speaks Ebonics, dreams in Vietnames, and had pastlife love affairs in ancient Kemet. A sista on the artist grind!
