10 awesome women that inspire me. Happy International Women's Day!!!!


Happy International Women's Day!!!!

 I think that March 8 is a special day because it's a day to thank the women that help us in all jobs and for all the love that these women give us. These women care for us. Some of these women are our mothers, rockstars, popstars, teachers, principals, vice principals, producers, CEO's and models.

These 10 women inspire me.

She cares about me and supports me with all my interests.

 Trish (Singer, model, actress)
She helps others and gives people a chance. She gave me a chance to see how a music video is made.

She is doing want other girls only dream of but are afraid to because of their fear.
She inspires them to replace fear with love.

What the power of choice means to me! Black history month 2014! Power of Choice Event!

Hi: I gave my first speech ever on January 30th, 2014. I spoke about what the power of choice meant to me. For the people that missed the event here are some highlights of the Power of Choice Event at the Toronto Police Headquarters in downtown Toronto. Everybody that spoke had something positive to share so here is the video for those who couldn't make it. I loved speaking in front of the audience and I can't wait to do another speech. Thank you everyone for showing me so much love and support. 
Here are awesome highlights.

Shoutout to the first black police officer Larry McLarty. Mr. McLarty it was so wonderful to meet you. 


Now for some pictures.
