As Val's mother would describe me... I am "the man" in this duo, lol. By that I mean I have the more domineering personality, although I am one of few words. I love the arts, but definitely consider myself to live the life of a logician. You know they say each half of the brain is responsible for certain traits. - the right side being the creative side - the left side being she who reasons. Well, call me Mrs. Left because reasoning is my middle name. I find comfort in seeing the ones I love smile and ultimately my dream is to help breathe life into my nuclear family's fantasies. My other dream is to pimp out in a wonderful gaz guzzler by the name of Hummer, but that is neither here nor there.
Despite the negativity surrounding homosexuality in the christian faith, I am still a devout member within a baptist church. Some may feel I am seeking retribution in the same place that condemns my kind, but there is way more to being a christian than that. Hopefully I'll be able to touch on that very subject.
As far as career objectives go, I've been brought up in a family of law... and will continue to uphold the family tradition. I love envisioning me supporting my family just as my dad has and continues to do. Pause - On paper I just realized how conservative I sound, lol.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, before defining myself as any other thing... understand this, and understand this clearly... I AM BLACK. Do not let the pigment deficiency fool you. I take so much pride in my blackness that I'm about to graduate from the finest HBCU to grace this solar system. I'm the one who would've been a black panther... and wore an afro wig since my hair is too thin for allat (cries).
But yeah, I'm Tae.

I am as versatile as my upbringing. Hood when I need to be and professional at other times because it is not expected of me. I am educated by school and tutored by life. Daredevil and rebel by nature. “Don’t tell me I can’t and I won’t stop till I do!” that’s the motto I’m rocking these days. I love music although I am tone deaf. I love to dance because it’s the most sensual thing other than sex. My pen is gifted. I love to read & write poetry. I am a spoken word poet and aspiring author. I love anything neo soul and black like my unprocessed roots. I love art and anything artsy by black artists. I love the skin I’m in. I am passionate in all things I love. So as the list grows I continue to find adjectives to simulate me as a whole. Simple things make me happy. Sunflowers. Seasoned Crab legs. “Taste of seafood”. Waking up next to Tae. Kissing Tae. Jah’s laughter. Gracie biting my calves during a 4 a.m. run to the bathroom. I own very little yet I am rich. Blessed. I have love from the 3 that matter. I’ll try anything at least once. I am a HUGE romantic. What you have or what you look like doesn’t interest me much. Can you break down a theoretical statement? Are you humane to others? Will you leave a legacy? Those are questions I’d ponder first. Your approach may impress me but the way you speak, the way you walk... *sighs* Oh yea, that’s how I got caught…bagged and bought by Tae. A pair of rainbow uptowns with a sun dress is how I Val, would describe me best. That means in the search to know me I am best at not meeting your expectations. I am a “person”. Mostly feminine with a versatile edge. I have a short fuse especially when it comes to what’s mine. I don’t take disrespect kindly since I try my best to treat people the way I want to be treated. However, that doesn't always work since some people like it rough. So I give it to them. I don't trust
