ABOUT ME

 

I believe that all things are possible if you do the work. At 19, I wanted to travel the world and couldn’t ask my immigrant parents for the money so I went to cosmetology school and got a job on an international cruise ship doing hair. I love traveling and meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures because I like to get a glimpse at as many unique perspectives as I can in life and learn from others. I have a deep love for foreign and indie films, especially Breathless, The Sea Inside, Life Is Beautiful, and Midnight in Paris. I believe it's very important not necessarily to be “fashionable” but to have a style, because that’s a way to express yourself. If someone told me I would never drink a cup of coffee again, I think I might die. I not so secretly love Bourbon. Most people are usually surprised to learn that I’ve only recently started to cook (I love making vegetarian food and an Ethiopian dish called "Shiro"), which just goes to show that you can be healthy without having to slave over a stove. I enjoy reading my bible daily, listening to music and dancing because it's good for my soul. I love spending time with my little nieces and nephews whenever I get the chance. I love pets—I don't have any right now, but by the time you read this I probably have one or two :) or Not! Yoga and prayer/meditation is an important part of my daily life.  I enjoy physical activities, swimming, biking, lifting weights, and going on nice long walks throughout NYC. When I'm not reading books on health and wellness I'm usually checking out biography books or films.  If I could meet any two people, alive or dead, they would be Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou. Above all, my wish for this world is for people to enjoy life. I’m not perfect, I’ve made many mistakes, and will continue to make more mistakes but always learning and growing from my life experiances.  

 

Love always
