CURRENT MISSION

...convince the locals that, yes, I can handle the spicy food!

ABOUT ME

I want to be a teacher when I grow up (which sometimes I wish would happen right now, and sometimes want to push far away).

I'm most likely to start dancing, so watch out. I try to make it look West African (Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire) but have SO much to learn.

GREEN! Give me a forest, some rain, and plants everywhere, moss, ferns, orchids.

Sustainable living.

Love meeting all kinds of people - teach me a new way to look at the world and I'll be happy as can be.

Cooking! Spices - a lot of them. Vegetables - even more of them!

My targeted sense of humor - Glozell, oh yes I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh at yo' damn self. You'll be happier for it.
