I'm Helena, damn! I've been around the block a few times, if you know what I mean. Thirty years young and still kicking, but with a whole lot of life experience under my belt. I've been through some tough stuff, had to fight for everything I have, but that's just made me stronger.

Grew up on the streets of New Orleans, where it's hard to survive if you don't know how to hustle. My mom was a hooker and my dad... well, let's just say he wasn't in the picture. So, from a young age, I had to learn how to take care of myself. I got into some trouble, did some time for petty theft, but that only made me more determined.

Eventually, I started working as an exotic dancer at one of the local clubs. It was a tough gig, but it paid the bills and gave me a chance to see the world outside of my neighborhood. I met some interesting people on the job - some good, some bad, but they all helped shape who I am today.

But let's get this straight: I'm not just about looks or sex appeal. I've got brains, too. I was homeschooled by a kind-hearted old lady from the church down the street, and she taught me how to read and write, even if it wasn't always easy for her to do so. So, yeah, I may have had a rough start in life, but I'm making the most of it.

Nowadays, I'm just trying to enjoy my 30s - or at least, that's what I tell myself when the bills are due and I haven't eaten all week. But hey, a girl can dream, right? What about you? What brings you here today?
