Jersey girl: Born and raised in Camden.

Bicoastal: Bounces from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to New York.

Marital status: Divorced.

Children: An adult daughter, Laketa.

Business: Top Flight Luxury Car Service (www.topflightluxury.com), which provides chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce transportation for special events. Professional female drivers.

Driving cars and men wild: "I always loved exotic and fast cars. After owning my first fast car, which was a Mercedes-Benz SL500 convertible, I then wanted to start my own company ... having female drivers. Why females? Because it's unique. It's different. And when men know that there is a female driver, you should see the expression on their faces."

Nominated by: Fashion stylist Anthony Henderson, whom she met during a video shoot for Eve. "I drove someone to the set. When I went into the trailer where Anthony was, we clicked right away."

Hard times: Abandoned by her biological mother at age 2.

Fast living: "I got pregnant at 16, and my foster parent put me out. I've been out in the streets ever since. I was sleeping wherever I could sleep. I've been raped. Beaten. Put in the back of a trunk. Had a gun put to my head."

Driving hard: Tried modeling, exotic dancing - anything to make aliving. "I made a point to save all my money. I became stronger."

No apologies: "My past put me to the present. You could tear me down back then, easily. But I'm stronger and wiser now ... I hold my head higher."

Who's to judge: "I never was the type to knock a female for what she does. I congratulate a true hustler."

The man for her: "I'm looking for a man who won't judge me. But my ultimate relationship would be with a refined, generous, older gentleman who is comfortable with a mutually beneficial relationship."

Her challenge: "I've chased many a man away by not being affectionate. That comes from not being loved. And being with men who hurt me. When I thought they loved and cared about me, they really didn't. But now, come on guys, I'm ready."

Mirror, mirror: "I am the definition of a true hustler and a survivor."

Message to girls: "Do what you have to do. Make something out of it. Save your money and get out. Fast money doesn't last forever. Fast money also causes problems. And that world can scar you in the long run."

Ultimate goal: To share her story on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and to have her own reality show to help teen girls. "Somewhere in there, I thank God and count my blessings everyday."

We would like to thank the magical hands at Bernard’s Salon and Spa for providing hair and makeup services for most of the Sexy Singles. A special shout-out also to goes to the staff at MB & Associates for their coordination assistance. What would we do without our Sexy Singles team?

This year's layout has a City to Shore theme, which we photographed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Thanks to everyone who helped make our time on location truly a VIP experience for the Sexy Singles!
