What's your favorite memory at YPI?
The youth at YPI have managed to get me out of my comfort zone on numerous occasions. But I'd have to say that my favorite memory would be rapping "Ice, Ice Baby" at the annual talent show.
If you had to listen to 3 songs over and over again for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody
The Eagles: Hotel California
Simon and Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence
Where are you originally from and how did you find YPI?
I am originally from Jackson, Mississippi. I have lived in Rhode Island for the past 25 years. I found YPI online, while searching for a place to volunteer. I was looking for a drop-in center for queer youth, and low and behold, YPI was up and running.
What was/is your favorite and least favorite subject in school? (high school/ college)
My favorite subject was interior design. I enjoyed all of the art and studio classes, but what I really enjoyed most was making scaled models and designs.
What's your favorite hobby?
I love doing all kinds of hobbies – photography, needlework, decorating, arts and crafts projects. Right now I am really into making jewelry.
