Bio
I hail from Ghana in Sub-Saharan Africa, its tropics are unmerciful, the Dry Seasons, devastating. The Wet Seasons, disheartening. At 15, I was carted off here for better education and financial freedom as it were. If so I'm yet to discover the later, I fear. Now 21 and a sophomore at Lehman Collge, a CUNY branch in the Bronx, I hope to finish with a degree in the Classics and HR Management. I was scorned by both peers and family alike growing up in Ghana for assimilating to the "Whitemans corrupted lifestyle." I suppose my preference for all things foreign struck a traditional nerve. Ironic it is indeed how I find myself on the soils of America. My Pagan ideals kill my family as well. Thus the classics have been forbidden for me but being the rogue I'm, not by choice but by nature I must declare, I had decided to proceed with its studies. I adore people who defy social convention for it is only through them that society discovers positive change. I do hope to travel the world someday and see for myself all the wonders it has to offer.
Favorite Gay/Bi TV or Movie Characters
Marco on Canada's much publicized Degrassi is a particular favorite of mine because his years in high school mirrors that of mine sans the effeminate part.
