I AM....BOHEMIAN EARTH TONES....INFUSED WITH BRIGHT.....BOLD.....COLORS....A FREE FLYING...MYSTERY...OF GROWTH...CHANGE...EVOLUTION.......for me the BEGINNING does not DEFINE the END........Originally from Bessemer, Alabama born and raised. I believe everyone is born with a purpose to fulfill and a journey they must make. I am embarking on that journey right now. I moved to Los Angeles to pursue dreams I have had since I was old enough to form sentences. I love to act and write. Growing up, acting and writing were forms of escape for me. I would spend hours in a corner formulating scenes on paper and acting them out with an all-star cast (my dolls!!!!!!). I have a desire to do work that makes a difference, that opens eyes and changes mindsets. I know wholeheartedly that our attitude is our life and that life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. If I can get a person to change their attitude and see life in a new light then I feel that I have done my job. As anything else in life, this journey has not been easy and continues to be a challenge everyday. I believe however, that God placed this desire in my heart for a purpose and at the end of my life when I meet him I want to be able to say I have nothing left because I used all of the gifts you placed in me down on earth. But, I am ready and willing to do it all over again if I can make a difference...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Pictures of me working and Friends:

I BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING AS LONG AS YOU PUT IN THE WORK!!!ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA WOMANA QUOTE THAT INSPIRES ME: It is not the critic who counts. It is not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; For it is he who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, and who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone who wants to make a real difference in this world with the talents God has given them.

Music:

Neo-Soul & R&B all day, everyday! The music I love reflects my soul. I love music with a real message and I am a hopeless romantic at heart. That's why old school jams really appeal to me....because they were all about real LOVE....not SEX. So I'm bringin 60's & 70's flavor to 2007. My favorite artists are The Isley Brothers,Earth Wind & Fire, Al Green,Marvin Gaye,Lauryn Hill,Amel Larrieux,Jill Scott and Erykah Badu but my favorite songs of all time are Femininity by Eric Benet,Troop...All I do is think of you and Let me be your Angel by Stacy Lattisaw. Right now, I am REALLY feelin Jill Scotts new album....her voice is just incredible and what she has to say is even more incredible....I love Maxwell,Lyfe,Raheem Devaughn,Floetry, Heather Headley,Carl Thomas, Brian Mcknight,Troop, Bob Marley,The Chilites,The Stylistics....The list could go on forever when I start getting into the old school music...when I am in chill mode i put on some old school and kick back with a glass of wine.

Movies:


powered by frazy.com LADY SINGS THE BLUES is hands down my favorite movie of all time. I love Diana Ross and would like to play her someday. Other faves: Imitation of Life,Hotel Rwanda, Apocalypto,Coming to America,Something New,The Josephine Baker Story,Love and Basketball,GIA,Boomerang,Love,Sex and Eating the Bones,Love Jones,Brown Sugar,Eve's Bayou, The Women of Brewster Place,Glory,Wildflower,Cavemen,etc..

Television:

I don't really watch much television because I always have my head in a script learning lines or writing. However, I ALWAYS make time for 20/20,Dateline or any investigative news stories......Won't talk to anyone while they are on!!!It's like when a man is watching his sports...Don't bother me!!!! lol!!

Books:

I am an avid reader...whenever I have a spare moment I am reading something (KNOWLEDGE IS POWER). I have too many favorite books to list. Soon, I will add my own novels to this list. Right now, I am reading: Queen by Alex Haley (I saw the movie, but wanted to see how much the novel differs from the film). .................................................One of My favorite passages of all time: "Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked of death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do thigs accordingly."by: Zora Neale Hurston...Their eyes were watching God


I WAS BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY....WHICH EXPLAINS WHY I'M A WALKING FIREWORK!!


Heroes:
