Hmm..I don’t know what I'd like say to help you guys understand exactly who I AM and it took me awhile to make a decision on if I even wanted to let you into my personal life(as far as my personality). So I finally decided to share with the world about one of the most important ppl in my life…ME(lol) Lets see, hmmm ppl have alwAys passed judgment on me as being stuck up, conceited, boogie, high maintenance and any other words that have the same meaning as the ones I stated above. And then when ppl meet me and get to know me, they realize that I’m funny, goofy, honest, trustworthy, dependable, resourceful, humble, and that I wear my heart on my sleeve. Then they say, “OMG Coko, you are so not what I expected. You look like a boogie high maintenance bitch, but you have the personality of an angel.” It amazes me that ppl will judge you based on your “look” without even knowing YOU. I’ve been modeling for 4years and I’ve come to realize that when ppl(in the fashion industry) see me..they see Coko(my alter ego) because that’s who I am when I’m working. (lol) Coko is fierce, she is edgy, she is talented, she isn’t shy, she speaks her mind….she is basically an undiscovered diva. As opposed to ME(when im not Coko)..Im goofy, Im bashful, Im thorough..omg the list can go on..but in short words..IM NOT COKO. So I think when ppl meet me, they expect to meet COKO and they get surprised..when they actually meet ME. OK! Back to regular programming...well, FIRST lets take a moment of silence while I thank the people who made everything possible....
THANK YOU
To my Lord and Savior:thank you for the many blessings you have bestowed on me. Words can not begin to scratch the surface of the THANK YOUS, appreciation, and love I have for you. Thank you father.
To my Family:Mama and Brother. (R.I.P. Daddy) Thanks for your love and support. You guys believe in me just as much as I believe in myself. I am beyond grateful to have you guys apart of my world because I know that when the spotlight burns out and the curtains close--we still have each other.

To the people that inspire ME:My Creator, My mother, The Obamas, Beyonce, Markus Klinko, Tyra Banks, and Oprah amongst other public and non-public figures(that will take ALL day to list) LOL-----THANK YOU for paving the way so that ppl like me can be recognized.
To the people I inspire:THANKS for supporting and believing in me. You guys have my deepest admiration. Continue to strive and be inspired by greats and know that "Succcess lies NOT in being the best, but in doing your best"
Last, but certainly not least I'd like to thank..
....My PAPA(he knows who is he) ::giggles::
