I AM A TAURUS... which means I love the earth. My favorite color is hunter green, but I love all earthtones. I also love wearing black and just started to realize how cute I look in white (at least that's what they tell me). I am addicted to the following things: singing, shopping, movies, plays/theater, traveling, concerts, nature walks, decorating my home. I love to teach children math and chess and how it relates to the real world. I am currently the only female chess coach in Bmore and teach chess to youth through the YMCA as well as the young men in the juvenile detention center. I have lead my chess students at the Y to 1st place in our city-wide chess tournament. Going out on dates is really fun. I was born in May, so 80-degree sunny weather is perfect and always puts me in a good mood. I spend a lot of time doing things for me. Oh yeah, and I love butterflies. My favorite icon to use to represent me would be a butterfly, a microphone, an apple (teacher), a musical note, or a bull (Taurus). I love spoiling myself, and being spoiled by someone else. I am rotton to the core and believe me, it shows.

..MUSIC IS MY DISIAC!!! Yes, I am a music junkie. I love old school music. Old school hip hop/classics, soul/neosoul, the old school style of gospel with some good sangin', jazz, house music. Good music is enough to make me glad I'm alive. Independent artists are always my favorite. All of them are inspirations to me, especially those who are my personal friends. I currently have an entertainment company that I'm developing called "Take Flight Entertainment." I do promotions, booking, and artist development. God allows me to learn something new all the time about this business. Look out for Take Flight Entertainment. I stepped out on faith with this, and suddenly chose to run with it. I realize that I have lots of work to do, still. THANK YOU, GOD, FOR ALLOWING ME TO TAKE THE BUMPY ROAD!!!Growing up with a strong passion for music, I've learned to study and appreciate the voice. In my lifetime, I've discovered many singers who I feel have the best voices. I should not try to list them all because the list is forever. These are ones who are famous, not famous, and/or I know personally (not in any order): Coultrain, Lauryn Hill, Faith Evans, Donna Summer, Frankie Lymon, The Official Jazmine Sullivan (Philly), Che Ray, Janita (Seasons of Life), Caron Wheeler, Whitney, Anita, Coco (SWV),Jackson 5, Navasha Daya(Fertile Ground), Maimouna Youseff (Cirius B), Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, EW&F, Michael McDonald, Angela Bofil, Fred Hammond, John P.

My late great-grandmother who was probably one of the best businesswomen ever. Her name is Elizabeth Carr. She owned Carr's Beach in Annapolis. It was the only beach for blacks in the Maryland area back in the 40's 50's and 60's. She had shows there that featured most of the greatest entertainers in history. I think this is where my passion comes from. Sparrows Beach was owned by my aunt, her sister. Other heros/sheros include Dr. Dorothy Height, Mary McLeod Bethune, Coretta Scott King, Ruby Dee, Muhammad Ali, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne. My parents, my grandparents, my godparents, my "big sisters" from GBS-NCNW, my "sister-sisters" (you know who you are), my 2 big-headed brothers, my uncles, my "aunties and uncles" who are there for me like blood relatives.
