I've taken up the art of RAKS SHARKI/ORIENTAL DANCE better known as "Belly Dancing" and am lovin' every minute of it! I'm proud to say that I have several solo performances under my belt. What a rush!
I'm also proud to announce that I am the newest member of "Y'Chessa Dahli" Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble, this is a great group of women of color located in Seattle.
Recently, my brother & I formed a company (BroSis Media Group). We plan to venture into tv/film production (all aspects!), music & printed publications. For more info, email us at: BroSis@Attbi.com . I'm driven & creative enough to make things happen...more details as they develop!
I`m really feeling the vibe & colors of earthy-tones. They are warm & full of life & I hope my page reflects those feelings. I`m a lil "shorty" (5`3 & petite) but full of fire & passion for life, excitement & love. I`m a good person to get to know....
Rudy Ray Moore, better known as "Dolemite" was in SEATTLE, ya`ll!!! This man is still funny & one down to earth brotha. Look for pictures & the exclusive interview in SEASPOT MAGAZINE (NOV/DEC 2001 issue) and/or check out the complete interview transcript

Writing is my PASSION! Aside from journalistic type writing, I write screenplays. I have 5 WGA registered scripts and am in the process of writing a Romantic/Comedy and a 1/2 hr tv sitcom (pilot).
