Bio

I’m a 47 year old African American woman. I have 3 sons and I work as an administrative assistant. I’m a bookworm; my idea of the great outdoors is going to the park to read a book. I also like to crochet. All in all, I’m pretty average and uninteresting. Except for the mucosal melanoma in my girl parts. That is evidently rare. Would have rather hit the lottery if I was going to beat long odds for something, but what can you do?
