What’s something uncool that you love anyway? Something uncool that I love is chilling in my solitude; some people think being a homebody is “uncool” but a great evening to me is chilling at home with a glass of wine and a funny movie.
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country? The best thing about my hometown/country is the evolution of equal rights for members of the LGBTQ community.

I just recently binge-watched all the prior seasons of “Power” and became hooked instantly; Thrift shopping is one of my favorite activities because you never know what fashionable items you’ll find within a budget!
