About Me

I am not who you think I am, whatever that may be. Nothing on my outside defines me; Nothing in my past defines me. I am the sum of my passions. I joyfully weep when people prevail against prejudice and realize their true destiny. I champion the rejected and rush headlong against hate justified by gross misunderstandings of religious texts. I am an advocate on behalf of the forgotten and those too weak to defend themselves against a governmental collective mind which defines who is worthy. I stand arm in arm with the unjust, the beaten, the afraid, and the oppressed, daring the self appointed God police to touch my beloved ones. I am stronger than they think I am, more tenacious, more passionate than I have ever been in my life. I KNOW THE GREATEST FORCE ON EARTH IS THE POWER OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. That force is strong within me, and I will prevail.
