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

 

I do believe people want to help but instead of informing themselves first, they go ahead and slip into the never ending cycle that perpetuates Africa’s dependency on foreign aid. What Americans/Europeans don’t understand is that to “Help Africa” they need to start with their own governments. Putting pressure on their governments to change their foreign policies towards African countries. When they realized that their governments/societies are a big chunk of the problem then we can talk.

boom! yes!
