Audra

A lil lady with huge aspirations. I grew up in a village in Zimbabwe (where I was once a member of the national gymnastics team!), but at 14, the combination of hard work, luck, and an amazing scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation landed me at Stanford University. Over the past few years designing bridges, testing cement, and watching the grass grow.er.I mean studying Civil Engineering, I've come to realize that I'd much rather write songs for a living. Needless to say, my parents aren't too pleased. ;)



Art, fishing, interior design, and boys with guitars.although I hear most of the hot ones have herpes.

Kidding.?



Being from Zimbabwe, I've lost countless friends and relatives to AIDS. There's nothing I dream of more than a cure for this deadly virus, or at least that we all learn (and care) to prevent it. Ladies! That means no one-night stands with hot guitarists! I've been the President of the Kijana Project--a non-profit organization that helps people who have been infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS--for ten years now, and intend to do so for the rest of my life.



.it'd also be kind of cool to create a couple of award-winning records before I die; partially because I love music, and partially because I'm pretty sure my parents will be skeptical until then! ;)



That anything is possible, and that Taco Bell is better than any fancy restaurant in the world.
