About Me

A Woman Who Knows Her Worth
A Woman Who Knows Her Worth
I am a person who needs structure in my life. I do not condemn individuals who are unlike me. Though most of the time people confuse my discipline lifestyle as me being pompous and boring. I like to have PURE fun and that you can never plan. Music gets me up in the morning and poetry gets me through the day. Photography is a new hobby of mine, which I discovered that I enjoyed doing, by taking random photographs. I was once asked to describe who I am and I must say "I Am One." I don't want to restrict myself to any adjectives like funny, smart, and beautiful. A road trip is always a good time for me to relax and have fun. I love to travel; my dream once was to visit the Taj Mahal until I found out how long the flight is. My education started with Dr. Seuss, which was before I learned to tie my shoe. I love to read and writing is a passion of mine. I wrote a lot of short stories and poems, though none have been published. Most of my work is based on true stories. I have a very creative mind, which can sometimes be misconstrued as complicated. I once had a friend who said that I spoke in riddles and he just wanted me to say it in "plain english." I try not to underestimate anyone and challenges are NOT something I shy away from.
-Destined To Be Great
MADE WOMAN
Made woman quick to stand still
Never letting go of what is real
A mind so deep it penetrates the soul
A thought, an emotion so quick makes you want more
Amazing woman in every walk of life
I am even stronger than the enemy would like
They wanted to know how I conquered my strife
When you're hungry you learn how to survive
They tried to bury my goals along time ago
It's funny how a friend can change to a foe
I shared with many my long hard path
Only to watch my adversaries laugh
When the tables turned I hesitated to laugh
For it is not always my duty to make the have nots have
Made woman quick to stand still
Though it only few that can see my zeal.

My Interests



If I had to do the same thing over and over again each day I would be the genius of this world's insanity. I like a challenge, though it is not seemingly exuding out of me, I am a risk taker. Some people would beg to differ, however it is important not to let people know everything about you. Just call me incognita. I'm usually quiet and initially not so up front, but I do know how to have a good time with my friends. Good times, traveling, making money, family, and establishing my own business is what I'm here for. Other than that, a great love of mine is cars and if I had a million dollars I wouldn't know where to start first. Just kidding I would start with a '67 mustang.




I'd like to meet:

Some of the worlds greatest people are my friends and the love of my life. I have had the pleasure to spend my time and most precious moments with them, to meet any of the following people would be a bonus to this life that I lead. I admire and respect Phylicia Rashad, Alicia Keys, Tina Turner, Lynn Whitfield, Patty Labelle, Sidney Portier, Chaka Khan, Russell Simmons, Roberta Flack, Lena Horne, Ruby Dee, Maya Angelou, and Della Reese.

I am also a HUGE fan of Tyler Perry! Tyler Perry is truly a genius whose creativity has gone from a script to his famous plays and now film. Each of his art forms are well done and worth seeing again. As a writer I admire his ability and think that his thoughts and images are a excellent way to tell life's story and leave you with a better understanding of something you may have encountered but could not fathom.

Beware the false motives of others
Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers
You never suppose it's those who are closest to you
They say all the right things to gain their position
Then use your kindness as their ammunition
To shoot you down in the name of ambition
Forgive them father for they know not what they do
Feed a man 'til he's full and he still want beef
Give me grief, try to tie off my piece
Why for you to increase, I must decrease?
If I treat you kindly does it mean that I'm weak?
You hear me speak and think I won't take it to the streets
I know enough cats that don't turn the other cheek
But I try to keep it civilized like Menelik
And other African czars observing stars with war scars
Get yours in this capitalistic system
So many caught or got bought you can't list them
How you gonna idolize the missing?
To survive is to stay alive in the face of opposition
Even when they comin' gunnin'
I stand position...
-Lauryn Hill

Books:

I read a lot of books, however if you have any suggestions please let me know. I crave knowledge.

Heroes:

Somewhere in this estranged world of mine, lies a dream of love, honor, and serenity. Somewhere is a place where my measly existence is meaningful, and my eyes show me light. -ladinyte
