Tell us what some of your tattoos mean?
“ Most of my tattoos relate to my children and some of the challenges life has given us as a family.”
Why the dreadlocks?
“ Basically I had wanted dreads from a very young age. My mom told me that at age eight or nine I wanted them. I started growing them when I was around twenty one.
For me, they represent my outlook as a member of society and hopefully create some form of positivity amongst people I meet.
They have, however, also had the averse effect but that remains the problem of the people with the negativity.”
What is your favourite film of all time?
“The Big Lebowski!”
We noticed that you are a little obsessed with the clothing label “Supreme” tell us why?
