Cheerleader of the Week

Imani

Meet Imani of Temple University, who is afraid of heights even though she's a flyer and is usually at the top of pyramids when she's cheering.

Imani

Describe the worst date you've ever been on: It was my birthday (January, snowing and freezing) and my boyfriend was trying to surprise me and bring me to this restaurant. Once we got there we saw that it was closed and didn’t open until much later in the day. I knew of a restaurant down the street so we walked there instead. One month later for Valentine’s day, my boyfriend brings me to another restaurant but this time instead of the restaurant being closed the whole menu consisted of nothing but oysters, one type of seafood I hate. I knew of a restaurant down the street yet again, so we went there instead. Needless to say, I’ve taken myself out for my birthday and Valentine’s day.

My one guilty pleasure is: Sleeping well into the day. Although I usually don’t have time to do this anymore now that I’m slowly turning into a real life adult, when I can I most definitely do. I am literally the biggest sleepy head and would never part with my bed if I had the choice.

Imani

My celebrity crush is and why: Chris Brown. My room was filled with posters of him when I was younger and nothing’s changed. Other than his “mishap” with Rihanna, I love everything about him.

Imani

Three people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are and why: 1. Chris Brown- Obviously because he’s my celebrity crush and I’m in love with him ☺ 2. DeSean Jackson- My favorite athlete (skill and look wise ☺) 3. Oprah- I’d love to get a personal motivational speech from her about becoming successful in life.

Imani

My favorite phone app is and why: Instagram. I love taking pictures of the things I do with the people I do them with and looking at what all of my friends from high school are up to now that we’ve all split up and went to college.

Imani

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of: Everything Rihanna. I love her music, both old and new.

Imani

If I had to watch one movie or TV Show over and over and over again, it would be: The Pursuit of Happiness. Even though I’d probably have no more tears left in my body after watching it over and over again, it’s just such an inspirational movie. It makes me want to get up and do for others as much as I can.

Imani

My worst habit is: I am constantly misplacing things, but this is due to my terrible memory. I can only imagine all the things I’ll forget once I’m an old grandma.

Imani

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't currently possess is: I absolutely wish that I could sing. Singing is such a beautiful talent.

Imani

Top 3 items on my bucket list are: Travel to all 7 continents, go to the airport and take the next random flight to wherever (this has ALWAYS been something I’ve wanted to do) and win the lottery and share the money with my family, friends and charities.

Imani

My favorite Professional Sports Teams is… because…: Not really into sports (cheerleader not into sports, what?) but I’d have to say the Philadelphia Eagles. My answer is biased being that I go to school in Philadelphia and naturally want to root for the home team.

Imani

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: I was performing during a time out and after the buzzer rang and we finished I realized my skirt was up the entire time. Thank god for spanks!
