I`m drawn to stories about ordinary people who get tangled up in an extraordinary event or idea or emotion. I`m not saying I don`t love films about super-people or super-doctors, but my preference is for stories about how we get through this life, what it is to be human, because I`m always struggling with it myself. ─ Sophie Okonedo
AWESOME ACTRESS!!!!

My mom thinks I’m a professional student.
After my Master’s, I’ll do what God says to do.
Things I’d love to do:
* Ph.D - in what?….TBA
* MFA-Poetry
* Work for a non-profit
*Publish a few books of poetry & a mixtape type thing with my poems to music.
Not a professional student. Just a lot of goals and dreams.
