Born and raised in the suburbs of the SF Bay Area (This time the stereotype fits - I am a very much a liberal. So a warning: If Palin is your homegirl, this blog may not be your cup of tea). I grew up eating homemade lumpia, sushi and tamales at friends’ houses and in turn introduced them to collard greens and grits. I secretly took the high school proficiency exam in the 11th grade (my poor parents were sending me to the wrong school) and once I received my "diploma equivalency" I saw no need to go back.
If skipping out on 12th grade and proms weren’t enough I shocked my friends and family even more by going to an…art school? Never mind the fact it was assumed I was destined for business school. Art school? Fashion major? My answer? This time passion wins out. I’ll figure it out.
So here I am. Twenty-four years old living in NYC working in fashion and art, just as respectfully rebellious as ever. Just as passionate and curious and excited about life as ever, if not more so. Also, I’m just smart enough to realize how little I know.
