What do you do with your time?

Location
North Hollywood, Los Angeles
Something you love about yourself?
I guess being a goof? I love to poke fun, play, and laugh as much as possible. I’m am pretty optimistic and can usually take a tough situation and turn it into something better.
Wisdom you would share with your younger self?
I used to hate that I was half African American and half Sicilian because I didn’t look like everyone else. I was very insecure, wasn’t sure where I fit and I always felt like an outsider. I now feel blessed to be different and don’t mind that I have kinky curly hair, love my skin color and thankful to be able to be a part of two totally different cultures. I finally found a way to feel confident and beautiful the way I am. I would tell my younger self to stop caring as much what everyone thought, and let go of those doubts and fears because they’re lies. To find confidence in who I really was inside, not what I looked like.
If you had a magical power, what would it be?
To teleport.
A value you live by?
Loving people well.
An embarrassing moment you’ve had?
When i realized grapes were raisins…a year ago.
A failed moment turned into a good thing?
I was pushed out of my job when I got pregnant with our first born and I had a really tough time with all of it. But, it allowed me to put all of my sales and business skills into my husband's furniture/ceramic business. It is now our sole source of income since I jumped 100% on board.
Where do you go to unplug and retreat?
Camping in the Sierras
Something you do for your mental health?
Get plenty of exercise, and talk to God on the reg.
