O - A lot of misconceptions often come with those who dance in such a beautiful and sexy art form. Have any nightmare stories to share?

I - Sexy is supposed to be beautiful, but in this world sexy is all sex to most people, as long as you know the boundaries of your sexiness and your comfort level with it, go for it!!But be prepared for the misconceptions, even with our risque name Kama Ent inspired from the book of courtship, the Kamasutra, we had to prepared for such misconceptions, so far so good, but we expect those people that are gonna think hmmmm, Kama, Kamasutra the book of sex, I wanna see them!!!

O - Do you have had boyfriends that get jealous at all with all the attention you get?

I - For the longest time I did not have a 'boyfriend' per say to get jealous, but I have most recently met the love of my life, who is a real man and a real man isn't afraid of a successful women, because in my culture behind every great man is an even greater women!
