About me

Gender Female
Occupation English professor/Navy wife/ Mother/ Writer
Introduction I've been called an over-achiever, but I just have big dreams and always set new goals for myself. Becoming an English professor was the first big dream/goal and it took a lot of work, but I love what I do. I like to spend time with my family/friends, read, write, write, write, sing karaoke and play dance central on xbox. I grew up all over the place because my dad was in the Air Force, and still don't have a hometown because my husband is in the Navy. We are always moving, but I kind of love it. I'm half Black and half Native American, which can be fun, interesting, and really confusing (hence the blog).
Interests I love watching documentaries about anything. They're so much different than reality tv. There is always this long journey of struggle and sadness, which always ends with hope. I also have fun writing creative fiction stories, especially for children and young adults.
Favorite Movies Labyrinth, Twilight, Practical Magic, Coach Carter, 10 Things I Hate about you, The Secret of My Success, etc.
Favorite Music Mariah Carey, Jazmin Sullivan, Joss Stone, Gwen Stefani, Kid Cudi, a lot of pop, r&b, and hip-hop, etc.
Favorite Books Wuthering Heights, Wicked, Mirror Mirror, The Joy Luck Club, Autobiography of a Face, Native Son, The Awakening, Pretty Little Liars, Garden Spells and Twilight.
