VoN dA BeAsT born on October 24, 1988 in the city of Norfolk VA, but raised in grimesland North Carolina about 11 miles outside the city limits of Greenville. My parents at the time were going through a divorce and both were judge unfit by the court at the time to take care of me and my brother. So my grandmother on my fathers side of the family raised us along with my little cousin. My grandfather who was a retired army veteran breed pigs. Across the street there were billy goats, chickens and a roaster, who woke us up every morning. As a child I used to love trying to sing and rap with my brother. As a little girl growing up I've always been into guy stuff. Like I never wanted a Barbie I wanted a Remote control car, I used to always play with my brothers toys. My little cousin would get mad cause I didn't wanna play dress up with her I wanted to play basketball and football with my brother. My grandmother was a very strict woman Who did not play no games. Being that I grew up in the country there was abosolutly nothing to do. We had to make up our own activities and games. we had a bmx bike trail with a jump ramp we made, to do tricks off our bikes. We made our own basketball court in the dirt with wood and metal. But in all as a child I was very quiet and shy. I think I have always known I was into women. I used to flirt and smack my brother girlfriends on their booty. By the time I was in the third grade a had my first girlfriend. Around the age of 12 my mom had fought her way through the court system to regain custody of me and my brother, it was the happiest day of my life. So we moved to Norfolk to start a new life in a brand in the city. Going to middle school I really didn't fit in with the other kids. I would get teased and get into fights everyday. The girls would pull my track ponytail out and the boys didn't like me anyway, I was a skinny plain country accented girl who didn't fit into my body with no shape. My 7th grade year we moved to Portsmouth to stay with my mothers, mother and father. My grandmother who I adored, cherished and loved so dearly was a sweet and kind Christian woman. My grandfather who was a preacher was more outspoken and loved to tell jokes. My grandfather would makethe whole family go outside in the back yard every Sunday with the speaker, microphone podem and everything to have church service. You could hear him around the whole block. I never really been into guys and by the end of my 8th grade year I knew for sure I liked girls. I was a real tom boy who loved to play basketball with the fellas. My ninth grade year in school I was a brand new person who somewhat was finding myself and who I am. I started dressing like a boy, drawing attention and coming out my shell. After I opened myself up a little to the world I started gaining friends. In high school I participated in basketball, softball and band.
