Shakima Ebony Swain

I am a sixteen-year-old Carib-American who resides in Jamaica, Queens. Though I live there and was born on Long Island, my heart will always be in Brooklyn. I live in a beautiful house with my mom, dad, 2 brothers and 1 sister. My family is my pride and joy. Aside from other things, I love shopping (which is why my story is about fashion), styling hair, reading, writing rhymes, dancing and most importantly having fun. I strive for my best in whatever I do and I look only for the best from others. This is my first experience with Radio Rookies and so far it has been memorable. Thanks for taking the time to read my bio. Feel free to leave any comments.
