  About Me
 
I am from Jamaica and went to school there. I migrated to the US with my 5 children who are all grown up now and I also have 5 grandchildren they are my pride and joy.
My hobbies are going to church, reading, doing puzzles, cooking, washing dishes. I have never been fired from any job.
I like to be respected and I do not like when anyone talks about me behind my back. If I do anything wrong I prefer you telling me right there.
