Interests
To know me is to know that I'm a HUGE Hip-Hop and R&B head — everything from the aesthetics (you will rarely catch me without my gold hoops), the cadence, and the pure joy I feel when a track is playing in the airwaves. When I'm not listening to music, I'm knee-deep in a podcast (Object of Sound, Bottom of the Map, Passing Through ... the list goes on), binge-watching or catching up on my favs (A Different World, Living Single, The Real Housewives of Potomac, insert anything by Ava DuVernay) or reading a book (memoirs are my go-to). What can I say? I love amazing storytelling and content in any format.
