I am a Motivational Speaker and Educator/ Actress / Writer / Promotional Hostess and above all a Trans Woman. I was born as an only child on 5-27-70 in Chicago, IL.
I always knew as a child that I was meant to be a girl. I've always felt a hole of emptiness inside me because I was born a female with male parts. As young as I can remember, I dressed up in private in my bedroom using bed sheets as dresses and a T-shirt or a towel as hair. I remember visiting my Aunt June's house, where I would put on her high heels and dresses and played with Barbie dolls with my cousin Tina. All I knew was that it made me feel glamorous and it was an escape from my reality.
It wasn't until the age 35 and the death of my Mother on 1-13-06 when she lost her battle to Lung/Brain Cancer. I loved her and I miss her so much. She was the world to me!
It was that time that I was finally set free from my Male persona! I started therapy and hormones. Although, I've lost many friends and family members along this transition, I am learning that actions speak louder than words and I cherish the ones who truly love me for what I am and not for what they want me to be!
For years I've been battling with major depression. My life has been a struggle ever since I was a child. I've survived emotional, sexual, mental and physical abuse. It's been a long, rough and hard road and but it’s all behind and I am finally in control of myself and embrace every single moment of it. I dare to speak out loud and declare my happiness. I’m a woman and I love myself!
I am now however looking to pursue my professional acting career and make a difference in people's eyes. I want them to drop the label and look at me and treat me as I was meant to be a ‘woman’ and not just another transsexual. Besides "Labels" are for clothing!
I love to write and have been working on a book about my biography, as I believe that it is important to tell my story and let people know that there is hope to overcome issues such as gender identity and child abuse.
Since 2009, I have been going to different Colleges and Universities representing Trans Gender Community Male to Female (MtF) by lecturing, being apart of a panel to Educate the audience which are Doctors, Social Workers and Students.
