Wow! Where do I begin? I´m a small town girl who has ventured out into this world to get a better understanding of what is really takes to make a difference. At an early age, I discovered that my purpose is life is to be a public servant and uplift others through my gifts, talents, and any other way possible. Someone very special to me once said ¨Dont seek to be great, but seek to serve and you´ll bump into greatness along the way¨. This statement quickly became my life´s motto. I love life, politics, and cultures, but most of all I love learning and appreciating the differences we as human beings possess. I chose to study in the Dominican Republic to learn all aspects of the African influence that is exists here. As a student of Howard University, one of the most influential Historically Black Colleges and Universities, I have become highly interested in the study and advancement of the African Diaspora. I must admit this journey has been both rewarding and difficult all at once, but I am enjoying every minute of it. I hope what I have said has given you a better understanding of who I am and has also inspired you to take action and initiate the change you want to see in the world!
