My Top 5

Star,Nikka,Neka,Dara. My best friends! They get me through every obstical that I can't accompish alone. Their there for me whenever I need them. We're like sisters and have come to the conclusion that NOTHING in the world can break us apart.

My Mom. Shes more than my bestfriend, more than my mom, shes my reason for everything. Without her, my life wouldn't be possible. She's my rock inside and outside of school & I don't know where I would be without her. I'm truely blessed to have someone as wonderful as her.

My Nana. Shes the older version of me, if I had to explain us it would be twins born in different centuries. I look, act, sound, react just like her... she keeps it completely real with me and walks me down the right path everyday I'm with her.

My Uncles Kiya & Lucky. More like my fathers. They've been more of a dad in my 19 years than my real father has been. Since the day I was born they have done everything in their power to keep me happy. my Uncle Kiya (who passed when I was only 10) passed the torch completely to my Uncle Lucky to lead me down the road of becoming a woman along with my mother. I love my uncles so much words couldn't explain.

Tyler,Raven,Ashanti,Hasani,Stevee. My younger cousins. My reason for finishing school. My reason to do good & be influential. My entire life summed up in 4 little girls and 1 little boy. My heart beat, my soul, my breaths I take, my tears I cry, my smile, my LIFE COMPLETELY ! I don't have siblings so their my closest thing to it. Being the oldest is hard when you have people who look up to you. I would do anything to make sure they were happy.. they are my world & non less.

Where I'm From

I am from the bible
from the park and
I am from real love
and warmth
I am from the 'green'
whose not for me.
I am from bikes and cheerleading
from Eskridge and Cortez
I am from a church and a sin
and from the right to live
from discipline
I am from the word of the Lord
I am from Linda and Josefina'
from fried chicken & quesadillas
from the Industrial War
and from slavery and a loving family.
I am from those moments that made me who I am today
