The other thing that we have noticed is that there is a lack of positive black female role models. We’ve developed this foundation called Less Is More and "Less" is an acronym for Literacy, Etiquette, Strength and Self.

I do plan on writing a book. It’s just…when I tell you how much stuff I’ve been through. When it comes to writing a book you have to have a focus and my focus keeps changing because of the things that happened to me. I definitely don’t want to write a book anything close to Superhead’s book or Miss Jones' book or Bobby Brown’s book. I just think that it is so offensive that you share personal space and time with somebody and then you use that for your financial gain. I think that is tacky and disgusting. So contrary to whatever my personal experiences are with anybody in this industry, I never will use a book to publically tell that story because then I’ll look like a piece of shit. So yes, I do plan on writing a book and I do plan on it being inspirational. I’m going to be very revealing as to the trials and tribulations that I’ve faced because I’ve gone through some things that nobody knows about. I’ve gone through some shit and rose above the adversity. I’ve maintained a strong value system and a moral code, the sacrifices you need to make sometimes go towards the hardships that you’ve faced.

DX: Why don’t you go into your organization a little bit more. Share some details…
MF: I choose the age range 13-30 because those are two very transitional points in a female’s life. When you are 13, you a physically developing into the woman you are going to become. You’re balancing social situations that create a very pressurized environment. At 30, women are supposed to have a house, car, good credit, family, etc – and I can tell you that this is not always the case. In actuality, its just the opposite. Women at 30 at times their credit is a mess, may have children out of wedlock or on their way to divorce because they married too early and a myriad of issues that young girls and older women are facing. We want to provide information about women that we admire in front and behind the camera. We want to highlight their accomplishments. We also want to provide information on how to live a better quality of life. And for those infatuated with the entertainment industry, we want to show then you don’t have to go the video girl route, or the actress route, or the singer route. There’s so many jobs available that need a womens touch in this industry. We are trying to serve as a mentorship program.

DX: Damn! It’s good to see someone with a good head on their shoulders in this industry. From where you started until now, have you seen a decline in women as role models?
MF: People are too caught up in what someone is wearing or what someone is eating and need to get a fucking grip on real life! Develop a sense of interest in things that can affect you. We can’t all be young a beautiful forever. We got to find a way to support each other and help this new generation because they are fucking lost. I can launch into a tirade right now about how the government controls the education system which is why we learn exactly what they want us to learn because they want to continue this downward spiral as to what we call education – but I’m not going to because that’s a whole different conversation.
I don’t want to be completely pessimistic about this. But the gossip sites and the fact that we are such information junkies gives us the opportunity to find out anything about anybody right now has lessened the concept of privacy. The fact that girls have Myspace pictures with their legs spread open make me say, “What the fuck?”

When I started to realize that I was being seen as a role model, I started thinking about what I could do to help the community. There are so many things wrong that I think I can shed light upon. I mean, I can go into a tirade right now about how the public education system has failed our children because those things need to be heard. But that’s a different conversation altogether.

DX: Yeah, we do have to have that conversation though. It’s funny because sadly people wouldn’t expect to hear this type of conversation coming from you.
MF: I’m a different person then the girl you’ve seen in the pictures five and six years ago. I’ve been through many transitional phases and seen a lot of shit that has helped shape my views and focus. People would be surprised by my list of friends. They are activists and intellectuals. The business doesn’t define who I am. I’m not out there trying to attract attention so the bloggers can start writing about me. I don’t do that. If anything, I try to shy away from that.

DX: Do you have any regrets with anything you’ve done up to this point of your career?
MF: I will say that there are people that come before you that create footprints for you to follow. There’s now a path that has been laid out for you. I can’t live with regrets because oftentimes the difficulties you face are because you needed to tell the story in order for somebody else to avoid the pitfalls that you may have fell into. On my Myspace page [click to view] I call myself "the pioneer" because I am.
