Okay, so the Miss Universe pageant was almost a week ago. One of the most exciting events from last week was the National Costume Show.

A Photographic Journey to Democratize Knowledge
I took several photos when I was in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Some of these snaps were personal, and to capture the beauty of the island, while others were to have a tangible memory of the historical significance of Zanzibar.

Loving a nose that isn’t “beautiful”… An actress/model’s perspective.
When I was younger, there were so many times I desperately wanted a rhinoplasty (nose job). I was mocked because of the bump in the bridge of my nose and the bulbous tip. A nose job was definitely on my To Do List. Now that I'm older, I'm so damn proud of this nose! This… Continue reading Loving a nose that isn’t “beautiful”… An actress/model’s perspective.
