What interest me is Art, Museums, history, anthropology, writing, volunteer work, learning new things, reading, traveling, going to games (football, baseball, basketball), plays, dance performances, spending time with my crazy friends and family (i love my family); with a good party sprinkled in :-)
Like-minded creative and positive individuals. Oprah, Kimora Lee Simmons, Russell Simmons, lifestyle bloggers or website owners. I have met almost everyone else that is of any true value to my life.

But, my all faves are Rue de Casse Negres, Carmen (anything w/ Dorothy Dandrige), Color Purple, Malcolm X, School Daze, and Lord of the Rings. All things Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. X-Men, Scary Movie, all Tyler Perry movies, action movies, blaxplotation films, documentaries, and more I just can't remember now.
