I am a LTJG in the United States Public Health Service; I'm in NAVY uniform but I'm proud to be USPHS! Right now I work for the Food and Drug Administration as a Consumer Safety Officer. I played NCAA College basketball for 3 years until I was partially paralyzed in my right arm in a pick up game with my teammates. I am a sports nut and competitive by nature...I LOVE TO HOOP, any challengers?!? I model for The Brock Agency and I LOVE my agent Beverly! I LOVE black people/culture BUT NOT the associated stereotypes. I am NOT ghetto and a heads up...its a HUGE turnoff for me. Just because you're from the ghetto doesn't mean you have to act like it. I am independent and goal oriented. If you're one of those guys who are threatened by an independent female such as myself save us both some time and click on the pretty little "x" at the top of the screen. I am a "good girl" but I'm far from perfect. I want a man who isn't afraid to perform random acts of kindness even when he's in a bad mood. A man who loves his family and one who doesn't nag about spending quality time, not showing enough affection, etc. My name is NOT Fantasia...I do not need a "hood boy"...I'd much rather have a MAN... Not all men (especially black men) are dogs. Only believe HALF of what you see and NOTHING you hear. Ladies, there are still a lot of GOOD MEN out there so don't give up! AND, men need a lot of the same things women need...Valentine's Day DOES matter eventhough most men won't admit it. And men need just as much affection as they THINK most women need. Everybody needs to feel appreciated...And on a final note I want to say a few things...Black people are one of God`s greatest creations and we need to recognize that and do things which involve striving for and maintaining unity in our family, community and race...One love! CLASS DISMISSED ;-) Lauren~
