Do you have any children?
No, not yet. Plus.....they cost too much!

What projects are you currently working on?
I completed a children's book. It should be out very soon...hopefully by Spring 2007.
I am currently writing a novel. I have just been so busy that I haven't had a lot of time to write lately, but keep looking out for me.

When is your next book coming out?
Good question. I'm not even sure. It's almost finished, but school comes first so I just don't have the time. Trust me though, it will be well worth the wait.

Do you ever attend poetry readings?
Every so often. It depends on my mood. I am so busy with school and other things that sometimes I am too tired. If you are looking for a good poetry set to go to though, you should attend Giovanni's (147th, Calumet City) on Tuesday nights. It starts at 9 and is hosted by KB and June-June. Also, once a month (I'm not sure of the exact date)there is a poetry set at Munchies on 35th and King Drive. Please try to get out to these events and show some support. They are open mics so if you feel a little bold, you can get on stage and do your thing!

I love forensics and crime scenes. I'm just a little weird.

Why don't you work in your field (biology)?
If I could, I would. If you know of any jobs or can give me any contacts, I would gladly appreciate it.

Why did you entitle your book Laugh Now, Cry Later...A window to my soul?
That's one of my favorite philosophies in life. It's a good way to look at things. People can laugh and make fun of you, but they will regret it later. Not because you will harm them, but because they will realize that they lost out on a good thing and also because what goes around comes around.

Does poetry have to rhyme?
No, a part of writing is that you are expressing your feelings and that is most important. Every other line does not necessarily have to rhyme. It's all about what you feel inside.

Why do you write?
I write to express myself. I write to share my story. I write because it is just something that I like to do.

I write, how can I get published?
Not everyone is meant to have a book, but if you feel that you are ready you can contact my publisher. Her name is Cheryl K. Wash. She is the CEO of EbonyEnergy. Her link is on my links page. Tell her that I sent you!

How much does it cost to get published?

Why don't you go on Oprah?
I want to so badly. I am trying my best to contact her, but she is not responding. If anyone has any contacts please let me know!

What are some of your hobbies?
I love to shop. Shoes and clothes are my fetish. I love to rollerskate, step, read all types of books (especially comic books) and kickbox. I also love riding motorcycles.

Do you have any tattoos?
Yes, I have 6, but I got them all when I became an adult. I have a playboy bunny on my chest, the word Sagittarius on my shoulder with a half lady half horse, my nickname "Timah" and a butterfly on my other shoulder, a design on my lower back, a rosary on my ankle and a tiger on my right arm. I also have my belly button pierced.

I did. So if anyone wants me to do their website, I promise that I will only charge you a small fee.

What bike club are you in and can you ride?
As far as bike clubs are concerned, "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!" I prefer to ride solo.
And of course I can ride. I don't do the passenger thing. I'm on an '06 GSXR 750.......so keep up........lol!!!

What schools did you attend?
I graduated from Franklin Fine Arts Center (225 W. Evergreen) in 1994. I then went to Whitney Young Magnet High School from 1994-1997. Because I was only 16 when I finished, I decided to stay in Chicago and attend the University of Illinois at Chicago. I went there from 1997-2001, majoring in Biology. My original plan was to become a doctor so I briefly attended Finch University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School in 2001. In 2004, I decided to pursue my Master's. I completed my Master's in Molecular Biology in 2006 at Chicago State University. The rest is to be continued..........
