 How important is education to you? Education is extremely important.  When I was younger I watched my mom struggle to finish college after I was in middle school.  She would always tell me get your education, because you dont want to be my age and stuck.  Struggling as a kid made me a better person, but also more appreciative of the things that a higher education brings.

 Tell us something random about yourself. I am a seriously goofy person.  People wouldnt think so if they knew me professionally.  But those that know me personally know I do my own happy dances for things Im excited about. I love making people laugh.

 What separates you from other models? I believe what seperates me is that I don't look as modeling as the epidemy of what I will be. I'm driven, ambitious, and determined to use modeling as a stepping stone to greater things for me. I'm serious about it and handle it as a business not a hobby.

 Favorite Mens Magazine? My favorite mens magazine is GQ.  I know I should pick something that I could probably be featured in, but I love seeing men, especially black me in suits, professional and confident. Its too sexy.

 Do you participate in volunteer work? I volunteer at schools.  Im a mom so I make donations to my kids school, as well as conduct the holiday food drives for needy families.  I go about getting food and clothing donations, as well as gift donations for kids at Christmas time.  Its well worth my time and effort.

 List some postives and negatives you've experienced in the modeling industry. I will start with the positives.  LOL!!  I have worked with some awesome people.  Torrence Williams was my first serious photographer in Dallas.  You can learn alot about yourself inside and out by your photographs.  He taught me how to bring what was beautiful about me inside out in print.  Negatives is association.  You have to be sure of what you will and will not do.  There will always be offers that will have you to where you will have to make a choice.  Unfortunately if you don't already have your boundaries set you will get used up in more ways than one in this industry.  You need tough skin, and self awareness.

 What are you most proud of? I am most proud of the fact that I am able to handle a modeling career, being a mom, and have a successful corporate career on my own.  I feel that no one believes in me more than me.  So I handle all of my affairs.  They fact that I am able to still do it, and remain sane, which takes a lot of prayer by the way, is what Im proud of.

 When its all said and done, what do you want to be remembered as? At the end of the day I just want to be know as a renaissance woman.  Someone that was given a lot of God given talent and pursued it all without doubt or inhibition.  A woman that loved life, her family and friends, and blessed the world with the best of herself.  If I am remembered that way I say my life was a beautiful experience
