About (request update)

I am an alumni of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council. I earned that through being nominated and attending the National Young Leaders State Conference in Arizona.

We are a coalition that is working towards marijuana prevention and suicide prevention in the African American community. I am also on the state leadership board for Lead the Movement Against Tabacco. I'm very involved in my church, Mount Pleasant Church, with the dance team and the youth praise and worship team and also our youth ministry G-Next. I am now approaching my sophomore year of college at Grand Canyon University and I write Poetry which I have began to collect in hopes of publishing a book in the near future.
