Hello. Born and raised in the South but have lived in NY for over 10 years. I'm a Black American female with a variety of interests and that tries to live life to its fullest. In my free time, I enjoy working out, exploring NYC, hanging with my friends, exploring different cultures, drinking red wine, and more. I enjoy traveling to diverse cities around the world. I love my culture and enjoy sharing it just as much as I love learning about others. I'm currently studying Mandarin Chinese. I love NYC, so if timing permits and you are visiting, I am happy to play tour guide.
