When life gets boring, you need to go and make your own fun. In case you're wondering who this is, my name is Melanie Oguje and I was born in Kano City, Nigeria, and raised in the City of Ottawa, province of Ontario. I'm five-foot-eight, slim and fit ( but with a nice round butt ), with dark brown skin and short, spiky Black hair. I studied business administration at the University of Ottawa, where I got my MBA from the prestigious Telfer School of Business and in the summer of 2004, I moved to the City of Atlanta, Georgia, to work for a company down there.
As a Black Canadian woman, I've felt more at home in metropolitan Atlanta than I ever did in the City of Ottawa. People down South are just more welcoming, I guess. I love living in the City of Atlanta, a thriving North American metropolis where the majority of the population is African-American. I made a lot of friends in Atlanta, and the place has really become home to me. I can't get enough of this thriving metropolis. It's the most beautiful City in the world, at least in my eyes.
Sometimes I go back to the south side of Ottawa to visit my parents, Louis and Marian Oguje, but that's about it. Atlanta is my home now. Recently I became a naturalized citizen of the United States of America, the greatest country in the world. I already had my Canadian citizenship so that's cool. Gets kind of complicated come tax time but whatever. I'm doing really good at the real estate agency where I work, and I'm thinking about opening my own agency one of these days. Once I get enough capital, I don't see why not.
It's in the City of Atlanta that I met a wonderful man, Samuel Mondesir. A six-foot-tall, athletic and gorgeous brother of Haitian and Irish descent. His mother Deirdre O'Connor is Irish and his father Lucas Mondesir is a Haitian immigrant. This mixed stud with the honey-hued skin and lovely greenish eyes was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. His southern accent is so thick ( like something else of his ) that I can't help but smile every time I speak to him. Well, almost.
