- About Me:
- I was born in South Africa, came to America at the early age of 4 years old and have been here ever since. I am a professional dancer, dance instructor, and visual artist. I travel from state to state teaching for different organizations. I enjoy working with youth that people call at risk. I call them the children the world forgot and the children I found that maded my world complete. I enjoy funny movies, reading good books, cooking my traditional foods from home. I plan to return back to school to complete my masters degree. So I can open up my own school and home for runaway youth.
