Favourite colour?
I like blue; blue is very royal.
Favourite food?
I like yam, boiled yam eaten with corned beef and egg sauce.
Favourite holiday spot?
My dream holiday spot is the Bora Bora Island. I have never been there. It’s a fresh boule region
Favourite weather?
I like cool weather. I like fashion in winter time. I like to button up
Favourite fashion item?
My bag, my jewelry and my fragrances. When I talk about fashion I usually put my fragrance in it because it completes my outfits.
Favourite book?
My bible. It wakes me up. I like opening the bible and reading it. Reading one verse at least can change everything for you. It keeps my mood awake especially when I’m feeling a bit low. When I read the bible I come back alive.
Favourite leader?
I think I like former President Barack Obama because of what he represents. He was not discouraged from pursuing his dream; he did what he set out to do. I love Oprah Winfrey. I like what she represents as well. She’s a very strong woman too.
