HotFreeLayouts So its been a while since i've updated this part of my profile. If you know me, you know that my life is always moving. I can't sit still! After 5 years in the entertainment industry producing concerts, festivals and mobile tours in the city and the east coast, i've decided to make a change...lol...yes, everyone asks why?! Did u hate it Laila? ha ha...no i loved it...live music is my heart, but i needed to do something else. If you know me, you know why...if you're curious...shit, just ask! Anyways...I've Just recently got accepted into Loyola's Master's of Education Program. I'll be studying within the Student/Mulitculural Affairs track, which will allow me to work w/ minority youth at the university level...still doing events and programming, but for a different cause...RETENTION! I look forward to it, if you can believe that! I strive to make my mark somewhere and i really feel that this is a great route for me! There are so many opportunities out there and i can't wait to dive in! I need CHANGE.... So many of us become attached to our ways and we forget about others. To share love, to experience love and create love. And i'm not talking about the romantic kind( don't get me wrong that's beautiful), i'm talking about the love that moves people, changes the times, encourages faith and delineates from what's expected! YES...i love REVOLUTION...it inspires and it motivates...it gets people off their lazy ass!! lol...don't get me started...anyways...I start school January 16th...yikes! In the meantime looking for a spot to call home in the city! ..........other than that I'm just Laila...crazy, book reading, God-Fearing, music loving, truth searching, trying to be come a vegetarian, attempted to be vegan, chocolate loving, family orientated, fun-loving, potty mouthed, shoe shopping, motivated, green-tea drinking, but also coffee loving, cell phone talking, revolutionary minded, photography loving, sweat pants wearing, backpack drivin, stevie wonder fan, who adores a little rock, ALOT of soul, with a dose of love, passion, and a pinch of cinnamon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love this photograph! It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand, it makes me angry and it gives me hope!!! I'd go on, but i'll save my breath for the people who are happy with what the world feeds them...ok, so maybe that's a little harsh. Believe me i don't mean to be, but some people just don't care...you know, about the bigger things in life...the things that change not just them but others around them...u know, global warming, war, truth, history religion, culture, the arts...now i'm starting to sound like a f****** Miss America contestant...sorry, but for those that do care...AHMEN!

My Interests

.......... I'd do anything for these two!!! Like Old Times Good Friends are hard to come by!! Talib Kweli @ Metro Awwwww Me and Denno! Love them like a FAT kid loves cake!!! Baby Sol and I TOGETHER AGAIN!! The WOMAN i keep close to my heart! MUAH!New Years 07 @ Chicago Cultural Center I love my Lil Peanut My Heart...My Best Friend!!!!

I'd like to meet:

Malcolm X ...As for who i wouldn't like to meet on myspace...anyone i don't know or has no affiliation with anyone i know! I know that's harsh, but i'm tired of the "hey baby","how you doin mama" bullshit! Sorry its a little harsh, but on the real...i use myspace to keep in touch with old freinds and the occasional boyfreind, EX-Boyfreind and boy-toy LMAO!!!! Sorry you guys know i couldn't resist!! :)

Music:

Music is a way of making life bearable a beautiful refuge in a world otherwise ugly and hostile to human happiness or it is, in itself, a powerful affirmation of life, in all its joy and sorrow without music, life would be an error" - Nietzschei ....music is the core of why i'm in the industry that i'm in...love the greats Stevie Wonder, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ottis Redding, Etta James....

Movies:

Too many to name but i love Love Jones, CRASH and Wedding Crashers....the list goes on...

do i really have to answer this question?!

Books:

loved the autobiography of Malcolm X and Asata Shakur...currently reading and still reading Blink, THE BIBLE CODE,SPike Lee's autobiography, Al-Ghazali-disciplining the soul and breaking the two desires...if you know me you'll know i get bored easily and may move from book to book. It's not that i'm bored...its just i get excited by one subject that it deflects me from what i was previously reading...i think they might call that A.D.D

My Parents...to come to this country and make something out of absolutely nothing...to understand the meaning of a "real love" through good times and bad...and teach me the beauty of family and the concept of "HOME"!
