Twas the night before Christmas and I can't fall asleep staying awake in excitement what a wonderful week!
Christ is King and all the blessings He brings last forever so everyone sing! Glory be to God! This is my testimony! And this is just the beginning! Who I am is just an instrument! Listen on itunes and watch the big screen to get a glimpse of The Big Picture! HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!
In a World where people bully for attention or use immature antics like GOVERNMENT Shutdowns to no avail I am extremely thankful to know where my help comes from! The Lord elevates me for no reason and I don't have to pander anyone or resort to ridiculous ploys for attention that are all too common these days! It is clearly all mercy because anyone who has read my book knows I am not worthy! Check out the Opera Poster for Aida!

Now that I am older staying fit is more important than ever. Here is where fashion meets fitness.....
Basically I eat whatever I want whenever I want then kill myself at least every other day in the gym! Home cooked meals keep me in shape but also a healthy active lifestyle contributes to my overall well being.
Met the Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) in Atlanta!
My soul magnifies the Lord who has now given me 3 decades of life. I am truly blessed to have served Honorably in the United States Marines, graduated college at North Carolina Central University, and further my acting career with a speaking part on Iron Man 3! My modeling image has graced Walmart stores, TV commercials, hotels and magazines. I have a published poetry book with a single on itunes and all this is just the beginning....
The next phase are more Mogul Moves, Movies, living large and dreaming big! Material wealth doesn't define me neither does fame. Only a legacy of love and loyalty lasts forever. My goal is longevity even after I'm gone from this earth. All glory to El Shaddai the God of all creation who continues to elevate me now and forever more. Amen.
This is a sad day in America where a wannabe cop can kill an unarmed teenager and get acquitted. The man who pulled the trigger is George Zimmerman and his victim was Trayvon Martin. Both have a tainted history and the case is arguable but the fact remains that a teenager is dead. Still the legal system of the United States of America have found him not guilty of second degree murder and he walks free. My blood boils because this happens way too often and race is an underlying factor. I am only calmed by my faith that God will administer true justice. My condolences to the family of Trayvon Martin and the long list of slaughtered kids by unjust cops.

The George Zimmerman case rocked the nation and many debates about race. Paula Dean ended her career with one word. Here's how I feel about my race in America also featured in my book:
NIGGER
The word white slave masters used to describe us
all the way from Africa enchained brought to America
now mass hysteria follows it because of History
when pale skinned whip cracker decendants show thier bigotry
viciously in the past but not yet free at last
of the hate behind it we are constantly reminded
of racial injustice just turn on the news
the white girl on the view don't understand our point of view
so oblivious and confused she goes on to boo hoo
how come it's alright for ya'll to say it why can't we use it too?
because the truth is it came from you but we made it cool
as a term to endear or smear colored folks acting a fool
now a tool comics capitalize off and artists make the best of
Blacks only because whitey used it to show no love
from "the Niggers" on Chappelle's skit to Southpark's Nigger guy
society seems to be becoming less nigger shy
but still niggers die on the streets by police
or arrested unfairly and sent to the slaughter house like sheep
we keep tolerating this mess being politically incorrect
under subtle disrespect in a white world that neglects
our needs but the word makes them see
how uncomfortable things really are for you and me Only in the Red, White, and Blue:
The Key to opening all doors is faith. Believe more than anything that what you want is yours then it shall be. I am faced with many doors in this stage of my life yet my heart yearns for only one thing; Love. Here's a few new videos featuring my signature smile and loving gestures but nothing real yet....

SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE AND I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO....
Today I had the honor of spending time with some Middle School kids and signing my autograph for them! Being an inspiration to the youth is awesome! My message to them is "Follow Your Dreams!"
I also stopped by my college professor's office the world renowned visual artist Achamyeleh Debela!
None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of my loving Mother Angela Azuka! I owe it all to her!
To God be all the glory! He has blessed me indeed by making me a blessing to others!
The number one movie in America right now is Iron Man 3 and I am in it! What a blessing to have a speaking role and face time on the big screen! If you haven't seen it yet what are you waiting for? The scene is poignant and surprising leaving viewers in shock! My name is listed in the credits as Iron Patriot Fan #1.
Check out the Premier Party coverage in Wilmington NC where a majority of the film was shot!
I am extremely thankful for the chance in a lifetime to be featured in the monumental Marvel film Iron Man 3. Special thanks to Tona B. Dahlquist Casting for casting me in it. The feeling is surreal seeing my face and hearing my voice in the big screen. This proves that dreams can come true!

FROM MY BOOK DEEPER THAN RHYMES: ART, LOVE, AND POETRY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME THUS FAR BE BLESSED AND BELIEVE!!!!!! LET MY LIFE BE A TESTIMONY TO YOU ALL THAT GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Acting/Modeling is the passion of my life and using my talents to inspire and motivate others makes it poetry. I do it out of love and thus far God has been opening doors continuously for His servant to shine. I was on the set of a GMC TV stage play titled What Would You Do For Love and the answer is EVERYTHING.
