I'd like to be a hard ass. But it's my nature to be mellow. I surprise even myself when I go off the deep end. I have and will always maintain my integrity but there are things that take me over the edge- because unlike most people- I care. About kids. About the poor. About a woman's right to choose. About people of color. You get the picture. I am quite the flower-child. I am in school studying education while pursuing modeling, musical and political endeavors. Conversations with me require RESPECT. Come correct and we can discuss anything. I'm someone's mother. Everything about me juxtaposes everything else and I'm fine with that. I had swag when they called it PERSONALITY. I work as a step teacher/mentor for the Step in Schools Foundation/ Girls Inc. and am currently building a social media movement dedicated to young people of color. Our children need to know that even though the deck is stacked against them, there's nothing they can't do. Seek knowledge and discover power. #WatchMeProgress
