hello Victoria,
in reply -
1 - for the same reason that I did not use my real name an age when I joined this group - I did not want to reveal my true identity; something I now regret because I realise that this is a safe place, full of support.
2 - "I long to be young gifted and black" and a bit female!
3 - I copied it from a magazine & edited quite a while ago now.
luv J
