About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Becoming the person my dog already believes that I am

ABOUT ME

I have a multi-faceted identity as an Afro-Canadian. Even my African identity spans most of West Africa with all of its diversity. Living in Europe and North Africa and East Africa all before the age of 16 has also shaped the woman I am now.
My home is now Canada and although I'm almost certain that it is where I want to be in the long-term, I'm milking the native english speaker thing for all it is worth while the economy recovers.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect others.
