I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I enjoy cooking and belly dancing. I have a son in Afghanistan. I devote a lot of time meditating to reduce the stress levels from the "so-called" war.

My Interests

I enjoy cooking, bowling, and belly dancing.

I'd like to meet:

Denzel Washington. Not only is he a "FINE" brother, but he's got it going on and still keeps it real.

Music:

Classic R&B, Jazz, 70's sounds.

Movies:

Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Well written....funny yet serious......submissive yet determined....you get my point.

Television:

Court TV. I've always envisioned being an attorney.....the key word ENVISIONED.

Heroes:

I don't have a hero, but the person I most admire would have to be Oprah. Yes, I said it. I know, everyone's tired of Ms. Oprah. Well, Oprah's got her stuff together. She's been accused of being an adulturer (living w/ Stedman), she's been accused of being a lesbian (her friend Gayle), she's been accused of being stingy (not giving to the right charities), she's been accused of being anti-American (giving to South African girls), yet Oprah looks in the camera every day and says, "Hello this is the Oprah Winfrey show today", yet she THINKS to herself, "Fu*% ya'll, you don't pay my bills." Now, that's a strong, determined, intelligent BLACK woman who has overcame ALL odds.....black, poor, female, obesity, AND nappy hair. Yes, I said it.. NAPPY NAPPY NAPPY. Are you happy? (I raise my right arm and hold a fist to signify unity) Keep going on girl. I have your back.
