This profile was edited with Myspace Layout Code Editor
I'm a born-and-raised Washingtonian, former tomboy, best friend, sister, daughter, and girlfriend. My background is in the fine arts, graphic design, acting and being direct. I'm strong willed, ambitious, creative, sometimes manic—but mean well—and believe I'm a work in progress. I love to have fun and spend quality time with friends and love ones, but I do appreciate some alone time to reflect and just enjoy the temporary solitude, yet still making sure everyday to learn something new about myself and from others.I'm a lady's lady, at times. I love to shop for clothes, shoes and makeup, then turn around and buy the latest video game so I can whup-up on my boyfriend. Being that I'm was born and raised in Washington DC, I'm naturally a Washington Redskin hands down—no bandwagon fan just there when they're on top—good, bad, ugly, that's my team. Football is my favorite sport and it's more of a love-hate relationship being that I've lost my voice more than once while yelling at a team. On a calmer note, decorating is my hobby for relaxation, while acting is my passion in life.My goals are to continuing learning and growing as a person, while strengthening my professional skills and being confident in whatever I endeavor. Speaking of confidence, I strongly believe curves, as well as, varieties are beautiful. I think society needs real reflections of women's natural essence and elements, and embrace it. I embrace my essence and reflect it when I'm walking down the street or on a runway; I greet people with "Hello," while my curves say, "I'm doing great and how are you?"

Heroes:


Myspace Quotes at WishAFriend.comInitially, heroes are the people who give a service to the public, asking for nothing in exchange but the well-being of others–so for that reason I have to give a shot out to the police officers, firemen, teachers and single moms out there. The heroes who really inspire me are people whom follow their dreams, and desire their passions to a point where their mind needs it to survive. That's just how hungry they are for it, and will jump-kick down that box life tries to confine us to so they can achieve this want and need (i.e. Oprah, Denzel, Tyra, Morgan Freeman, Whoppi Goldberg, Al Pacino, Barrack Obama, Bill Clinton, Spike Lee, Angelina Jolie and so many others).
