My boyfriend convinced me that my website needed an upgrade and that I don't share enough of myself... Here are 32 Facts about me. Love you, Joshua, ๐จ
โ I am 32 โก
โ I am African ( Kenyan, Nigerian, Sierra Leonean) and Middle Eastern ( Egyptian, Iranian, Turkish ) with a touch of Portuguese and Cherokee from my two grandmothers.
โ Persian Buttercups are my favorite flowers. But an Ombre bouquet of flowers is chef's kiss!
โ My first career choice was to become a Prosecutor and attend Georgetown University.
โ I randomly wrote in a diary at 10 years old that one day I'd become an author, without realizing I would be 23 years old.
โ I am the baby of five... and the favorite ๐
โ My father raised me, and it taught me many valuable lessons. But I came to realize how hard it is for a man to raise a daughter.
โ I got my first dog, a Rottweiler named King, when I was 11 years old... he then passed away when he was 11 years old.
โ I'm allergic to Dogs ( Didn't know when I had King ) and Cats. However, I was adopted by a Stray cat in the summer of 2025, and he became my best friend. I called him "Gurl" ๐คฃ, and once I realized he was a boy, I asked him if he wanted a different name- he didn't care.
โ I'm the proud Auntie of two forever babies that I raised in so many ways. My nephew was my baby growing up- now he's 19 years old and taller than me. My niece is the sweetest little girl ( Almost my height ), and I love seeing her bloom into the beautiful butterfly that she is.
โ I love Vanilla Lattes, Long sunny walks until it's dark, and spending time in Nature.
โ At 27, I was involved in a red-light running car accident that left me with a traumatic brain injury. I spent almost three years in Rehabilitation. I had to learn how to walk, talk, and write again. I still have bouts of short-term memory loss and moments of mental fatigue. Overall, I remind myself on bad days that it could've been worse.
โ I'm a hopeless romantic who pathetically writes love letters to her future husband with hopes one day they'll be worth it.
โ I started my first company at 21 years old- a Bath and Body Company. Then launched a clothing line, cosmetics line, and a home collection.
โ I was a whistleblower in college- because of that, I never got my degree.
โ I love Savory foods!
โ I had Jaw-Surgery at 17 years old to correct an underbite. I have two plates and 6 screws in my jaw.
โ I've covered 5 Magazine Covers, which is a dream come true for me!
โ My biggest dream is to build the family I never had. It's something my inner child always cries for.
โ At 16 years old, I wrote my future life from 18 to 35. I can say that at 32, about 80% of those goals have come true.
โ I want a beach house in Madagascar one day.
โ I've always wanted to live in Dubai for a year
โ One day I want to build my dream house. Cook dinner with a two-year-old attached to my right leg, while holding a 6-month-old baby as we wait for my husband to get home from work ๐ฅน
โ As a Romance writer, I always wondered how I'd meet my person. I've come up with every scenario, and somehow I missed one.
โ I was on the Debate team in high school
โ I am a huge advocate for domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault victims, fighting hunger, mental health, and endangered animals. Some of these topics- many are afraid to face them because of the shame that surrounds them. But I believe that in order to see change, it has to start with you.
โ I lost my sister to Domestic violence when I was 19 years old, and she was 37. That changed the way I looked at love. It opened my eyes to another kind of pain and heartache.
โ I love simple things that people give me. From a handmade card, a rock that King gave me for my birthday, fixing my necklace while I'm talking, or a "What are you going to eat for dinner, beautiful" text from Joshua. It shows they took the time out of their day to think of me, and I'm forever grateful.
โ I love writing; I love creating stories- but it's not the same love I once had.
โ I love my solitude, but I know that I'm meant to be a lover.
โ I'm an Elephant Mommy to 13 stuffed elephants. For those who've asked, Jolly is my firstborn :) And he's 10 years old.
โ I only shop the sales rack for clothes. I'd rather have 10 pairs of pants for $50 than spend $50 on one pair. I will never spend more than $30 on a pair of boots or shoes, and that's why I have so many. ๐
