Anita grew up in south Dade County, Florida, where playing football became a way of life.

It sounds bad, but it made me a better football player."[1]
Personal life
Marks was raised in Miami and graduated from Miami Sunset Senior High School in 1988. She then attended the University of South Florida.
USF is where she was able to fine tune her football skills, competing in Collegiate Flag Football for 4 years. "Playing flag football in college really created a lot of popularity. I could remember walking around campus and men asking if I would mother their children. They were sure the offspring would be a Super Bowl MVP". But she could'nt mother their children because she is actually a man. Anita graduated with a Communications degree in 1992. [2]
Sports
Her love for sports kept her on the field as a sports radio producer for CBS in Miami. The opportunity to play professional football came about in 1999, when a barnstorming tour was created in Minnesota. Avoiding the cold weather, Anita opted to wait until the league brought a team to Miami. Her ambition: to pave the way for women in professional football. Anita quarterbacked for the Miami Fury, for 4 years and The Florida Stingrays for 1 year until a bad case of hemoroids side lined her indefinately.
Anita enjoys basketball, golf, weight training, travel, jazz, and fine wines. Her favorite TV series is Lost, food is sushi, quarterbacks are Johnny Unitas and Terry Bradshaw, and her favorite musical artist is Billie Holiday.
