I am a black pre-operative transsexual in Boston. I have a great job working with kids. I am neither a homebody nor a socialite; I dance somewhere in between. I am very goofy and silly at times but still able to entertain intelligent conversation. I'm big on outdoor activities like deep sea fishing, skiing, and camping. I'm also a lover of the arts, so you might see me in line at a local film festival. I'm kind of a movie buff. I listen to various genres of music. People are often surprised by the volume of songs/artists on my IPod. I am very open minded and love meeting people from all walks of life, which is reflective in the diversity of my friends.

I'm looking to continue working for non-profit organizations but in a more significant (and higher paying) role. I am also trying to be more adventurous and I want to travel more.

Crossword puzzles and trivia! I am also good at planning and organizing outings and activities. I'm usually the person my friends call if they want to do something fun. I am told I am a very good cook. I'm also a good problem solver.

The back seat of my car is a mess.
