2. I am 23 years old (now almost 26).
3. I have a two year old (he’ll be 5 next week, Sheesh). He is the motivation behind everything I do. I am a mother before anything.
4. I am a business administration major. December 2017 is my graduation date (God willing)

10. I hate bugs. all types. whether they hop, skip, jump or crawl. No good.
11. My Hair goal is bra strap length in the next 3 to 4 years.
12. The reason I started the instagram and the site, was to support and encourage all naturals and transitioners.  I felt that I didn’t get a lot of support going natural as I would have liked and needed. I figured that there had to be many more people that felt the way I did, and unfortunately, I was correct.
13. I want to ultimately run my own community center for abused and neglected children and teens. I want them to have somewhere to go for self help groups and tutoring. I want them to feel surrounded by love and that they have a safe place to be. One day that will happen.

17. I am hoping to expand this “brand” into something more. You have to stay tuned for that. lol
