Ok, enough is enough. It's time for the world to find out about the woman behind the name. I have been putting this off for a long time now while trying to figure out what I want this blog to say and/or what I want it to become. Well, I haven't come up with any earth shattering answers so it will be what it will be.

I am a black Republican. And for those of you who think this is an oxymoron all I can say is that you have a right to your opinion however stupid. My political ideology was formed at an early age especially listening to my father, who if he were alive today would be a staunch Republican. I was raised to believe that I'm owed nothing and whatever I get is from hard work and perseverance. I was taught to share and be respectful of my elders. I was taught that education is more important than standing on the street corner blaming the white man. I was taught that with every action there is a reaction. and most of all, I was taught that individual responsibility is the key to being an adult.

While in college I was told by a peer that I was not a Democrat even though I was registerded as one. Yes, I was a registered Democrat but my values and beliefs fit squarely into the Republican camp. But I didn't change my political affiliation until much later which I chalk up to living the life of a college student and trying to figure my life as an adult. In any event, I am a Republican with many Republican beliefs and some Conservative ones as well. Now here comes the kicker, I'm also a lesbian - hence the oxymoron retort. There is quite a lot to say about that and I will but let me opinine about that on another day. For now let's get this started.
