.:: Welcome to My Mini Bio
Somewhere in mist of July I was conceived. My parents must of had some sort of attraction left for each other in order to produce me. So 9 months later, on the day of April 23 I popped out as a beautiful healthy 10oz baby girl atJackson Memorial in Miami. Yes I was a bundle of joy.
It was totally unaware at the time that it was the hands of fate that I was brought into this world. Doctors told my mother before I was born after her last two born dead children that she would not be able to have any more children. So I was definitely a surprise. By the time I was able to know colors and words my dad had disappeared out of my life, I have very vague memories of him. He remained out of my life for my entire life.
I was raised in Miami, the hood part that is for 18 years. I had a very tough childhood there and an even rougher teenage years. My mother definitely lacked her mother skills. I always compare our relationship to Eminem and his mother relationship. Very similar. She wasn't around most of my life, hardly knew what was going on, or where I was most of the time. In school though I was an honor student till high school. I inherited that from my dad. I was always bright in school, and the most creative in my class. I loved arts, and just creating new things. I loved being different even from than. But with lack of love at home, I seeked love else where, in places, that were very unhealthy for me. I turned to men in my teen years for everything. I became dumb by them, falling for their schemes, and not valuing my prized possession. I was very depressed growing up. And it wasn't till I was about the age of 15, when things in my world was not going right, is when I picked up a camera and took pictures of myself.
At first it was something to do, because I was home alone, bored. But I always had a love for photography, but never did I dream. of being a model. Taking pictures at that time was therapeutic, it kept me home, it kept me off the streets, it kept from running away, and most of all it gave me a happiness that I did not feel else where. The more I took pictures, the more I fell in love with it. It wasn't till I posted them online to a website called Blackplanet , is when I discovered I had an eye for the camera. It was only a matter of time that I discovered, I was truly good at this, and I continued.
By the time I graduated high school I tried the safe route in life, and moved to Tallahassee for college. When things went sour there, that is when I followed my heart to pursue my career. From that moment, I 've been grinding, and I haven't stopped since. Its been a very long journey, but I know my hard work will pay off.
So in a nutshell...I lived in Miami for 18 years, Ive been taking pictures of myself (modeling) since 15. I carry scars on my body and in my heart, I carry scars of pain, scars of memories, scars of moments that were unendurable. But I took all the negative and flipped it into positive. I don't walk around as an angry woman, I don't take my pain out on people, and I fight for a dream that I know is made for me. I found something that I am really good at, and something that gives me a tingle of happiness in my heart, something I never felt by anything else in my life. So yea, this is my mini bio, the unsugar coated version. The real version will be on sale in bookstores everywhere, in a store near you...
