Q: What do you do to stay healthy?
A: I try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and limit my salt intake.

A: Eat, eat, eat!! There are some wonderful restaurants in Harlem that have food from all over the world. I love to eat Spanish, Ethiopian, vegetarian and any of the other types of food that are available in Harlem. I also enjoy going to music shows in the summer and walking through the neighborhoods that have beautiful buildings.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: My hobbies are watching or playing soccer, listening to music, collaging, cooking and eating with friends and finding new things to learn about.
