My Interests

Traveling, music, reading, going to school and feeding my brain, politics, kicking the shit and having an ill conversation, working with kids, sports, cars, cooking, new places, crazy adventures, hanging with my girls, drinking martinis, buying purses, taking my dogs to the beach, and watching movies with my boyfriend.

I'd like to meet:

People...and old friends that slipped through the cracks

Music:

Music is the soul's way to remember, forget, and enjoy the best things in life. Hip hop, Reggae( I'm a sucka for some hot dancehall), R&B, Deep House, Salsa, Son, Jazz, and the Blues.

Movies:

Scarface, old 80's movies, Goodfellas, 25th Hour, The Godfather,Carilto's Way, American History X,The long Kiss Goodnight,Sankofa, Old School, 50 First Dates, The Devil Wears Prada, Wedding Crashers, Crash, Hotel Rwanda, Tsotsi, Pirates of the Carribean, and Departed. We love movies!

Television:

Sex and the City and Entourage( it is P and I's Sunday ritual)Bill Mahr, Def Comedy, Def Poetry, basically HBO...everything else is just for mindless enjoyment. However, we are really into House now, and I am enjoying my Grey's Anatomy.

Books:

I have a BFA and an MA in Literature, books are my thing. Mostly Multi-ethnic Lit, and African Diaspora. What I'm reading right now: On Beauty, Zadie Smith.

Heroes:

My friends: they inspire me with their greatness and their amazing success. Whoever thought the crazy ass bunch of NMH girls would end up as teachers, lawyers, and architects, and artists? My boyfriend: his way with people and his ability to know how to handle any situation never ceases to amaze me. Ok, a few famous people inspire me too: Angela Davis, Assata Shakur(who I was lucky enough to meet when I was in Cuba), Howard Zinn, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Noam Chomsky,Che, Nelson Mandela, Ellen Craft, MLK, and people who continue to fight for the freedom and rights of every individual.
