About Me

I love this image! When i first saw it I thought i was looking in the mirror...I call her Liberation Queen! Living life in search of Peace and Freedom for herself and others. She gets wounded in the process sometimes but she is still standing. Protected by her Ancestors and those that she loves and protects.Symbiotic relationships fuel her!
I am a grateful person, living life to the fullest and on my own terms! I am the child of Obatala and Osun; having been highly favored by both powerful Yoruba Deities! Always striving to live with "Iwa Pele" (Soft and gentle character)!I am a lover of all things "ART!" So for all of you musicians, singers, writers,dancers, painters, designers, etc. can I be in your "fam" club? I am willing to be a cheerleader for any talented beings that are thinking, performing, or creating their art, because I believe they should be encouraged. I want to give a big dap to all of the people that are pursuing their dreams and choosing love over hate, music over war,good food and good sex over pettiness and drama, and just choosing to be free in your thought and expression. It is such a true blessing to have free will and to decide for yourself what kind of wonderful person you would like to be. Give, Smile,and Love...then live for the POSSIBILITY! It is out there and it is yours! One Love, One Family!
