In exactly 100 words, please tell us about yourself.
Well, let’s see, my name is Aaren Chana. My middle name means chickpea (given to me by my goddess mother, DEBO), my first name means lofty mountain. I was born and raised in Queens, New York where I live with my mom, Leslie, who is a chef (yummy) and my older sister, Aaja (say it Asia), who is a princess. We have two dogs—Timon & Buddha, a loco gato named Lazarus, and fish in the pond in my backyard. I’m an artist by nature and a goddess by trade. P.S. I still love to dance in the streets!

What are your turn-offs
Funky teeth, or breath. Ugly dirty sneakers. Just being plain stupid. Having no sense of humor. Guys that don’t call!

What qualities do you look for in a pet?
Furry/self-cleaning/something that will not wake me up in the middle of the night.

What is your personal motto?
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you can fix something don’t worry about it, if you can’t fix something then don’t worry about it.
