About
I am not only American; I am also African American. I won’t say anymore because those are all the words needed to be said by a model. It took me almost three to four years to decide that time moved neither slowly nor quickly in the gene pool. To the closed mind, the future seems so undefined; a forest lost in a mist of uncertainty. Call it an epiphany, if you will but while wrestling with the invisible barrier syndrome for what seems like generations to get to the caged tiger, I finally hit upon a notion. A notion that makes a lot of sense to me and only me. I am young, black, and American. I’ve leapt through that barrier and now I’m on the right path and pursuing refinement.
