I am a 5’10” vegetarian, pseudo hippie with naturally curly hair and size 11 shoe who laughs really loud, has furbabies instead of real babies, drives a scooter to work when weather permits, and wears red shoes whenever possible. I can perform a mean time step (thanks to 20 years of dance class) and say “I love you” in six languages, one of which being sign language which I am fluent (but a bit rusty).

This picture displays my big feet, curly hair, and my 2 cats and 1 dog all on the couch with me. You can also see a picture of me at age 2 with my curly fro in the background.

I am sure my mother would have a ton to add about how I am different.  She doesn't really understand where I came from.  If I only had a dollar for every time I heard her say, "Nat, where did you come from?  Whose daughter are you?"
