"Ooh there's no end to what we can do
They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to
Ooh start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no one else " - Sade "As long as we don't know our history and other's history, there will be no positive interactions or understanding"
- Yuri Kochiyama
"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior
is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;
that until there are no longer any first-class and second-class citizens of any nation;
that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all, without regard to race -- until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship
and the rule of international morality will remain
but a fleeting illusion to be pursued but never attained."
-Haile Selassie Speech to United Nations

The truth is:
I am a full-time student, part-time worker, a traveler, and a dreamer.
I love being surrounded by people of different cultures. Do not expect me on American Idol - my vision is beyond America but it's for the oppressed people of the world, from sex workers to the 9-5 worker with broken dreams.
Eventually I'll come out with an album. I'll let it happen when it's supposed to. =)
