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

 

Young People of Color Incorporated: The YPoC Photo Challenge =)

youngpeopleofcolorinc:

Good afternoon YPoC fans!

We are starting our first contest today!

All you have to do is take a picture of yourself holding a sign that reads ‘I Support Young People of Color Incorporated’ (or some variation of that) and email it to youngpeopleofcolorinc@gmail.com so we can add it to our fb album and the indie go-go page.

Each week we will pick our favorite photo and make it the profile picture for ALL our social networking sites! The more inventive your poster, the more likely you are to be featured! So get creative and start sending those photos. The contest ends when the fundraiser ends, March 18th, so feel free to submit more than once! This is an easy, fun and sure fire way to keep our pages updated, interactive, and most importantly to show your support for YPoC even if you can’t donate right now!

We love you guys and we can’t wait to see your photos!

I will be posting my own tonight =]
