Born in Houston, Texas, I was the seventh child growing up in a very large family. Even with so many around, I always found a way to sneak a little time for myself in a hide-away space to dream. I grew up in the church, as my father was a Baptist minister. While in high school, my life was all planned out by becoming a model/actress, and I worked at it, while also working at other jobs to raise my child alone after a broken marriage.
