Some say I'm different or unique but...I'd say I'm just being me. No...the mohawk isn't for show or a gimmick; it's merely freedom of expression. I've always expressed myself through my clothes or hair because I was once a soft spoken shy girl. Believe it or not! However, it wasn't until I got my tattoos and MOhawk that everyone lost their minds. At first they were pointing and laughing, then it turned to "wow, thats different", now it's like "I love your swag". My mom told my daughter a story about when I was growing up; how she used to make me change clothes before leaving for school because she thought I looked weird everyday. I'd sneak different clothing items out the house and wear them anyways (Thanks Madonna & Cyndi Lauper...lol). My mom says after about a year of fussing and fighting with me about the way I looked, she just had to let me be me. Just recently, she told me that I was always different and strong willed. Therefore, she just had to allow me to be comfortable within my own skin (and I am extremely comfortable, s you can see). Every since...its been smooth sailing. I hate to be boxed in. I get nervous when everything looks the same. Why people think I am so different... In my opinion: It's because most folks are so busy following the in crowd or the right now fads that they don't even realize their is a whole world of unique individuals that aren't followers. They are natural born leaders......................................................... Well...I'm saying all this to say...I recognize I'm different from you as you are different from me and thats what makes us individuals. So...when you see me out and about, you can come speak to me and talk to me because I'm just like you in so many ways. I'm just one of the few people who have embraced my differences and shared them with the world.------------------> Check out this video of a me in the grocery store & this VENOM fan comes along...LMFAO! Watch how I deal with being recognized everywhere I go. He is soooooooooo funny! He is a great graphics designer, by the way. I've seen his work. Enjoy. One. "VENOM"
I want you to watch this video first and then share your feelings on the question at hand. Remember: This is not to offend anyone in any way, shape, form or fashion. I am simply testifying here. This is what happened in my real life...okay! Story goes... While in high school (10th grade) I met him. He was nice and shy but still liked me. We dated for two years and then my daughter was born. Eight months after my daughter was born, I heard rumors of him being gay. Shortly after, it was confirmed. He moved away to Oceanside, California to try and escape the madness; only to return to nothing but the lifestyle of a gay man. Yeah, I left him and many many years later; he has finally apologized for keeping his secret life from me. I can honestly say that it made me question my womanhood. For six years I drowned myself in low self-esteem; only to emerge as one of the most inspirational poets on todays spokenword scene. What don't kill you will make you stronger! I am a living, breathing testament of that. Q: Why are men on the down low? Why keep it from your girl? Thanks in advance. Enjoy!
After the recent media mania about Chris Brown & Rhianna's domestic violence case, I had a sudden change of heart about men that abuse women verbally, mentally, emotionally; and especially physically. I must say that I have a great deal of dislike for cowardly men that beat on women. From my past experience, I have discovered that men that are abusive stem from dysfuntional families or insecurities about themselves. Therefore, I have to ask other men and women in the community if they feel Domestic Violence should be considered a felony? If so, why? If not, why? Please share your thoughts with me; as it could be therapy for the unspoken or the ones that may be in denial. I am the face of Domestic Violence. Are you? Please leave comments. |
