I am here for Networking

About Me

I love life and writing. I love to travel, laugh and chill with fun, engaging people. I love dancing to house muzik and consider myself an old school hip-hop head.Ummm... I prefer to be myspace buddies with folks I actually know or fellow writers/artists.

My Interests

writing, reading and the arts in general

I'd like to meet:

Cool individuals who are comfortable in their skin. Real people. People with good dam sense and positive energy. Creative folks. Funny folks. Folks with some dam talent. Folks with multiple identities and are comfortable with all of them.

Music:

I love all types of music! I also design hip-hop chick t-shirts at www.zazzle.com/tinatfakhrid* (make sure you add the asterisk). Check me out!

Books:
