About Me

NYC Girl transplanted to Cali, moving in purpose, and looking forward to the daily journeys God ordained for me. I am here2create - love, life, words, culture, art, good food, opportunities for and power in others, a legacy of giving and loving, a foundation that is built on faith, family, and fortune. There are many things I've been blessed to be able to do professionally but my greatest accomplishments are continually being birthed.My life goal is to do all that God has called me to do, live in excellence, tenderness, and humility. Love hard, play hard, and pray even harder - that is my mantra.The world is my home and I'm looking forward to traveling it at least twice before God receives me. While I continue working to make my residence bi-coastal (btw NYC & Cali) I'm always thinking of and missing the city of my youth. I think most about all my family there, the gentrification that's killing the soul of my Village (Harlem) and the ever evolving artistic spirit that walks and breaths in SOHO, NOHO, and the Village - Greenwhich that is. Although I often yearn for long walks on the upper west side, I'm learning to appreciate livin' so close to the ocean.And while I am currently single (by choice), I patiently wait for the beautiful and brilliant man that is just a few ordained steps from sharing and building this amazing life with me. Ours will be an incredible journey.
THESE ARE OUR BABIES! SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!

Like most of you, my family (from east to west coast) and I have been texting, sharing videos, and articles around this election year. This is by far my favorite. And it is the first time, in my life time, that I've witnessed this level of awareness and care."You can vote however you like," just vote!
