title: Sleepless Mishaps
author: Sylvia E. Alves
description: I am a women "gifted with harmony." For me, this just simply means, I am an African American women with many talents. I am in the business of success with entertaining my target audience while satisfying my imagination. I was born and raised in the great city of Baltimore Maryland. Just because I have a wild imagination at times, I want no know mistake, I am a Child of GOD. I am the mother of one beautiful baby girl, whom I thank God daily for him trusting me to lead her life. I love being around people in a positive light. Traveling around the world use to be been a challenge for me but never a problem. As a young woman, I have traveled to many places, inside and outside of the country. I am a vocal artist, a writer, poet, a determined mother, I am character, a person that dares to be different inside and outside of my circle. I pushed and with others help, I succeeded in being a college grad as well as a trade school in the medical field I live by the say "how can I push my child to try or be great, if I have not tried to push myself". It's a must that I strive to be better.
