Music, Movies, and Books

I love R&B and Hip-Hop. My favorite author is currently Paulo Coelho. My favorite books by him are: The Alchemist, Brida, Aleph, and Veronika Decides to Die.My all time favorite movies are Love and Basketball and Brown Sugar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have flown in an hot air ballon in Cappdocia Turkey by myself and it was incredible. I left my fears behind as the balloon was flying over Cappadocia thousands of feet in the air.

I camped out in the Sahara Desert and run up the sand mountain to watch the stars at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I TRAVELto get different perspectives by meeting people from ALL walks of life. In order for someone to reach their full potential you have to get out of your comfort zone because it requires energy, determination, and courage. I have in doubt been wrong about several countries cultures when I physically explore them. I am educating myself on a new level because the education I receive traveling is totally different from learning in a classroom. I am learning to understand the world so I too, can change the world and change myself. Traveling is full of amazing memories of joy, breaking down barriers, as well as overcoming fears. I met so many amazing people all over the world who has never seen a Black American. They were all very cautious and intrigued and I am always happy to talk with them.

Conversations, my perspectives of 28 countries I have traveled to, photography, languages, and my passion for the arts such as dancing.Why people should see the world and learn to understand it so they can change the world or at least change themselves?
