About Me

My name's DeAndré, with an accent not an apostrophe. I love my whole name (though at times I don't know what to do with it) and the general consensus is that it is unique. I communicate in the negative, read the printer-friendly versions of web pages and enjoy life's little ironies. I generally don't pay ignorance any mind.

A few interests: People with heart, soul, conscience, Art(istic expression) of all forms, Chillin', Tea, Photography, Strong women of color, Music, My brothers past, present, and future, Films that drive me to tears, Travel, eccentric blackness, UrbEx, Rationality, spontaneity, transcending boundaries, critical pedagogy, (African) visual culture.

Perhaps I can best be summarized as a walking contradiction beyond comprehension. Yebo...

You can be my friend if...

...you meet any of the following criteria: The profound. Passionate people who enjoy the arts and good music, people who are real chill and awesome and enjoy adventure/don't fear getting lost. Also, nuns. Ooh, and pretty boys who can roll their hips...'tis sexy. Hell, surprise me.
