Amani is the name that appears on my birth certificate. That's the name you can call me. I am intricately unique, and I love myself just the way I am. I am working at keeping God number one in my life, because many people say He is and they are really lying...albeit unknowingly. I think I'm a pretty chill person. I don't like a lot of conflict or negativity, so you won't see me around or involved in much of it. I try to allow people to see the me that I know myself to be...not just situational fronts. I love my two year old brother like he is my own son...and most people think that he is lol. I'm a senior this year and ready to graduate so I can get on with my life. I've been through a few things in my life that have had a tremendous impact on the person I am today. I can go on and on and on but I'm going to stop here, because you can hit me up if you want to know anything else.
