Studying: International Relations with Political Science BA.

Interest: Where do I start? I am deeply in love with African culture. My interest in African music, fashion, poetry and politics emphasizes my fixation with the beautiful continent I come from. I follow Nigerian politics avidly, paying close attention to issues such as corruption and bribery, poverty and oil politics. Food, health & beauty and fashion are definitely top three; I have a strong 'passion for fashion' (cheesy I know) particularly as it provides the platform to be expressive, original and creative. As a result, I am a shop-a-holic with a wardrobe which could collapse anytime soon.

(Always have and always will, no matter hwo empty the trophy cabinet is..)

I am: quite a strange individual, extremely loud, out-going, approachable, caring, always laughing/smiling/singing/dancing and hard-working. I do tend to have my quiet, reflective moments, but the majority of the time I'm making noise...and LOTS of it!

I've played the steel pan for about 12 years now, gigging and playing in very exotic and weird places. I've been to over 10 different countries so far and I'm fluent in Spanish (Only when I visit though) I suck when I'm home though.
