Greetings!

Glad you stopped by>>....

     You are witnessing the birth of a beautiful beginning for me as I set out to collaborate and publish a book prospectively entitled I am beautiful; this is my voice that captures the quintessential life experience from real people all over the world. In order for me to make this possible I would like to extend participation to people everywhere with a perspective on life or a story to tell; a shocking truth; a wonderful accomplishment; unbearable pain; defining moments. It can be an anonymous excerpt or a proclamation of self. I would like to revisit that with you.

     This site is specifically dedicated to a movement of self- awareness and the progress of the individual, both intrinsically and biologically. I welcome people from all walks of life and ask that you embrace this movement and recognize the power it has. It begins with you. Feel free to drop comments, opinions, ideas, stimulate worthy conversation (which I am so extremely fond of), or contact me. I am dedicated to hearing the voices of the silenced and sharing images of real life situations, from picture- perfect to distorted and broken. I am open-minded and respect every one's opinion. So if you don't like it, don't leave- your welcome to speak up and tell me why.

     So think of a story you never told, a secret you never shared, a decision that you made that you were ashamed of, a time when you accomplished far more that people saw in you, a moment of victory that was the shining glory at the end of the tunnel. You are who you are and it's beautiful, flaws and all. I would like to include stories of the like and all glimpses of the lives of real individuals. Moments that made us who we are. So contact me if you would like to considered for the opportunity of sharing your story in my book: I am beautiful; this is my voice (prospective title). This is not just for me but for young people around the world who feel they have no one to turn to and in the midst of being consumed in the darkness.
    
     I was once that person and wish there was someone who could say something that would help me ease the suffocation of my vulnerability. I wanted to relate. I wanted to talk about the things I saw in myself as less desirable without rejection of a commading society that demands we adhere to it's standards of image to be acceptable. Someone who could help me embrace myself from my curly wild hair to the confusion in my life, within myself, my sexuality, dealing with pain and isolation, depression and obsession. The kinks about me I hated because I looked out and thought everyone else was perfect. Until finally I understood my imperfections were simply what made me unique and realized that I am better than perfect- I'm real. My life is painted through various outbursts of my creativity and that is who I am. It's not dictated by what's in-between my thighs or plastered on a profile page, it is my words, my drawings, my dreams, my designs, my poetry. My first true love is the art of my expression and it has not abandoned me yet. Share your stories as I share mine and become part of this book.

    I love you all and thank you for your support and working together toward the mission of depicting truth in life lessons. Most of all I want to thank you all for being my inspiration whether you know it or not. I respect your honesty and you make all the difference =:)
