Well, here I am sitting right in front of you. Even though you just mess up my name but, hello I am Alexandria Reynolds but everyone calls me Alex. I am from Dallas, Texas Americans football team city. Even though I can truly say I am not a Cowboys fan at all but I live for spirit. Our fans go crazy just to get a taste of a championship that Dallas will never receive. But anyways I come from a lovely, crazy family. I am the youngest of three blood but I had a total of five siblings. Honestly there is so much I would love to share about me but, I honestly think my YouTube channel can tell it better so make sure you go check me out at YouTube.com/AlexxxNicoleee.com. But let me just tell you a quick story describing the woman I am. Think about someone that you see on a everyday basics, and then imagine seeing a young black woman with somewhat curly short hair walking in a pace that seems to be up beat but honestly she seemed to the on a whole different speed then everyone that's around her. She stand about 5'8 and she her weight...lol..lets just say she doesn't miss a meal. But anyways, she is 22 and trust me no one knows. Well, she has a very strong heart and everywhere she goes she try to leave a sprinkle of love and joy. Back to life, Back to reality. I am someone that feels that my purpose in life is to make a change no matter how small or even how big. There has came a point in time where I was honestly scared to put my thoughts on paper because of the challenges that I faced not being confident in my voice or even my writing. I attend a college where difference can truly stick out and even though many may think its should be easy to make friends being Black and attending a HBCU but honestly in the beginning of my journey it was actual a huge challenge. I can say being someone that very social for the majority of my life, I truly did have a hard time making friends even opening up to people because in my generation, we face some different challenges in life where it is even harder to make a stranger even smile. That’s the world I live in.
