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



JILL SCOTT blew it UP on her summer tour. View pictures (my photographer has madd skills) & read the concert review from her Seattle show.....

I`m working on my skills as a photographer. Check out the pics (July 2001) of Ginuwine, Xzibit, 112, Ja Rule and more.


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).

Check out "African-American Culture" at Bella Online.
The mission is to entertain, enlighten & empower, so visit the site & please participate in the site`s African-American Culture Forum!

I also host the FENG SHUI site & Forum @BellaOnline. Worth checkin out & showing support for one of the only African-American`s recognized in this field.

Read a sample of my writing (published on Blackplanet.com). I`m also a published author! I wrote a mini-biography on JENNIFER LOPEZ. But my BIGGER plans are to direct & produce music videos & movies.

I`m 100% LEO....I live like a LEO; I think like a LEO; I love like a LEO. If you don`t know what all that exactly means......look into it & you`ll know what I`m talkin` `bout....

I LOVE Las Vegas! Wishin I was there now:


The song I`m REALLY feelin right now.....
"Dead N*gga Blvd." by MeShell NdegeOcello from her new album "Cookie: The Anthropological Mix Tape" (released June 4th, 2002)




DEAD N*GGA BLVD.
MeShell NdegeOcello

can you tell me...
are you free?
you sell our soul
like you sell a piece of ass
slave to dead white leaders on paper
welfare cases, rapists and hoes
all reinforced by tv shows
and mtv videos

a jail`s a sanctuary forthewalking dead
it fucks with your head
when every black leader ends up dead
somebody said
our greatest destiny is to become white
but white is not pure
and hate is not pride
and just `cause civil rights is law
doesn`t mean that we all abide

so tell me
are you free?

while we campaign for every
dead nigga blvd
so young motherfuckers can
drive down it in their gotti cars
you try to hold on to some africa of the past
then won`t remember
it`s other africans
that helped enslave our ass
`cause everybody`s
just trying to make to make that dollar
remember what jesse used to say?
i am somebody
no longer can i blame others
for the way that we be
`cause niggas need to redefine
what it means to be free

i can`t even tell my brothers and sisters
that they`re fine
`cause the world is so fucked
that you`re thinkin` that
you`re ugly in your own mind
since you stopped breastfeeding the child
you put `em on the cow
and now you wonder why they act wild
you see brown folks are the
keepers of the earth
unifiers of the soul and mind
not these wannabe gotti pimps and thugs
wearing diamond watches
from south african slave mines

perhaps to be free
is tolove those who hateme
die a beautiful death
and makepretty brown babies

so tell me
are youfree?

we campaign for every
dead nigga blvd
so young motherfuckers can
drive down it in their fancy cars
you try to hold on to some africa of the past
then won`t remember
it`s other africans
that helped enslave our ass
`cause everybody`s
just trying to make to make that dollar
remember what jesse used to say?
i am somebody
no longer can i blame white folks
for the way that we be
`cause niggas need to redefine
what it means to be free

just trying to make that dollar
just trying to make that dollar
just trying to make that dollar
just trying to make your dollar

we campaign for every
dead nigga blvd
so young motherfuckers can
drive down it in their fancy cars
you try to hold on tosome africa of the past
but one must remember
it`s other africans
that helped enslave our ass
`cause everybody`s
just trying to make to make that dollar
remember what jesse used to say?
i am somebody
no longer can i blame others
for the way that we be
`cause niggas need to redefine
what it means to be
free.
