I AM
Outspoken
Fierce
Trinidadian (and all that that entails…)
An activist, an artist, a true friend
I WANT
Three children
To see my name in a textbook
To write books
To be the definition of black beauty and humanity
To positively impact the lives of all those I encounter
I HAVE
Faith in my God
I HATE
Apathy, ignorance, and incompetence
I FEAR
Failure
God
I SEARCH
For knowledge and wisdom and lifelong education
I ALWAYS
Try to see the best in people
I AM NOT
Easily deterred
I NEVER
Will forget where I come from, who I am, or whom I represent
I CRY
Rarely
I LOSE
Patience with things that I cannot control
I USUALLY
Dancing
Reading
I REGRET
Having, at one point, mapped out my life’s course according to the wishes of others
I WONDER
Why people are not being proactive against the state of genocide in Darfur
Why people have forgotten about the survivors and victims of Hurricane Katrina
I NEED
To be thankful of how far I have come in my life and the people that have helped me along the way
I SHOULD
Be on Oprah.
