My favorite types of music include Reggae, Jazz, Gospel, and Old School, but I am open to any and all genres of music.
Movies
Believe it or not, my favorite movie of all time is Grease 2! I love any dance movie, I love sappy romances, comedies, and teeny bopper movies. The best movie that I saw recently was The Gospel.
Television
"A Different World" is my all time favorite TV show
Books
Too Many to name! Some of my favorite books include "Flyy Girl" by Omar Tyree, "Preconcieved Notions" by Robyn Williams, and "Singsation" and "Saved in the City" by Jacquelin Thomas. Currently I am reading "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren, "God's Leading Lady" by T.D. Jakes, "The Self Publishing Guide" by Dan Poynter, "Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul" by various authors, and "The Bible" by God.
AND OF COURSE MY BOOK! "The Ups and Downs of Being Round." Order it now!

My boyfriend and bestfriend Ray is my hero. I have never met someone so selfless.
