DJ Dub 1, Columnist (Monthly Thought)
Family, Music, Reading, and Writing are the addictions. A DJ whom is an easy going person, DJ Dub 1 gets along with any and everyone, as long as there are no unneccessary problems, for confrontation is a negative. She is very easy to talk to and never passes judgement on anyone, for it is not her job to do so. She loves to read and write, writing on a daily basis about things she reads, sees, hears, and/or experiences. Whether the situation is good or bad, DJ Dub 1 tries to give each a solution. Most of her writings are positive since it seems very rare now a days. She wants to show the LGBTQS communities that there is more to this life than what you see, or choose to see.
DJ Dub 1 tries to make a difference where ever she goes and with whomever she meets or comes in contact with, whether it be physically, mentally, or spiritually. Just think, that one smile you gave that stranger the other day, is propbably the only one they've received in their life time, which could mean a lot.
Life is a gift, and DJ Dub 1 intends on living this gift to the fullest... Peace, Love, Music, Health & Blessings.
