Uncommon Personalities: Meet Anuli Akanegbu

My hometown is…
Laurel, MD. The city of Laurel has land in three counties, so you now know my home town, but not where I’m from. Weird, right?

When I was a kid my favorite television program was…
“Arthur” even though I never understood how an aardvark could have a dog as a pet. I still watch the show occasionally on Netflix. The show has some pretty catchy songs like the “Library Card Song.”

My style is…
All black everything. Despite having a pretty colorful apartment, these days I mostly wear all black with hints of colors like grey and navy blue. I know that doesn’t really count though, but I fully believe that nothing is the new black. Plus, I think there is something sophisticated about the color black. Maybe because it’s harder to tell when you spilled something on your shirt.

My guilty pleasure is…
Watching British reality shows on YouTube. Not the good ones either, I’m talking about “Jersey Shore” quality here.

If I won the lottery, I’d…
Start off by paying my student loans and see how much I have left. How much did I win, exactly?

When I’m not working, I’m probably…
Scouring the beauty section for the perfect shade of “nude” nail polish, watching “30 for 30” films on Netflix and perfecting my recipes for guilt-free desserts.

An uncommon fact about me…
My name means “joy” or “daughter who brings happiness” in the Nigerian language of Igbo.

Would you rather…Only speak and write in clichés for an entire day, or ride a tricycle to work through the snow?
I pretty much only speak in clichés and random pop culture references, so that would just be a regular day for me.
