JOTAKA Fest 2008-- Celebrating my BirthdayThis Friday, Feb. 22nd at Mahogany in DC (11th and U Street NW) 9:00 pm -- NO CoverI am 29 year old DC woman trying to leave her mark on the world. With a passion for human rights, social justice, and friendship I approach everyday as an opportunity to leave an lasting impression.I am orginally from the big city of Johnsonville, SC home of the mighty Flashes. I was a cheerleader for 8 years (although you could never tell now). My family and friends are still in Johnsonville and I try to get there as much as I can.I went to college at the great University of South Carolina. That's where I spent 4 and 1/2 of the greatest years of my life--mostly in the Russell House. My proudest moment there was being elected Student Body President--making history and breaking the barrier for black woman in the school's 200 year history.I currently live and work in Washington DC, where I work for a progressive policy group. My work has taken me to over 40 states and 20 countries. My favorite country was South Africa. There is nothing quite like the Motherland.Anyone that knows me, knows that I am opposed to the death penlaty and can be described as progressive in politics.I love to talk--sometimes too much.I've been told that I have a great smile--therefore I try to share it as much as I can.I've been told that I am funny--although I don't really try--perhaps b/c I am country.My Favorite Quotes: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.""If you like it, I love it"
