Then I left and went to Refuge Temple my first Holiness Church/Pentecostal Church.

My brother and me wrote a soap opera in 1991 for a local artist, and producer. He was located at the IPE in Buffalo. He rented the upstairs from Bill Gaitor and Camile Gaitor. In 1995 I worked on the Democratic Campaign going door to door and calling people encuraging them to vote. I graduated from Bennett High School in 1995 and from Daemen College in 2007. I have several years of work experience. Before, after, and during my college education. I am also an inventor. I am currently trying to file patents at the US patent office, and my brother and sister are inventors also, my brothers, mother and faher are also writers so was my grandmother. My mom and I wrote 2 poems together, 1 about mothers day and another about beauty. My great grandfather General Austin Davis from Taledega Alabama, invented the ironing board it was stolen from him at the world fair. He was a minister and a carpenter. He built his home up from the ground on Davis street where he and my great grandmother who was also a minister lived, her maiden name was Doshi Grimes. They ae on my mom's side, on my fathers side my grandfather was a minister and an automechanic. My grandmother was an evangelist andhad her own radio show for ministry she had a degree in psychology, took some courses in Fahion Design, and worked until the age of 89 at an early childhood ctr in Buffalo, MY grandparents Eleneeta Brooks and Abert Brooks were from Sumpter North Carolina. My grandmothers maiden name was Dewitt. My grandmother Sarah Jackson on my mom'side did secretarial work, until she became ill and was hospitalized. My heritage on both sides is Cheerokee and French, on my fathers side there s also Blackfoot Indian and African, on my mothers side there is also West Indian. I am gifted with the gift of prophecy, I am a dreamer of dreams, I often get Djavou. Almost evrery day of my childhood was a day that I saw before. I know ahead of time when someone in my family is going to die. I see my dead relatives give me messagesa in dreams. Spirits visit me, especially when someone dies. When my autnie Jossie died spoons were literally jumping out of the dish rack, when my stepfathers brother died the light went off in my room and I smelled burning,the next day we found out that his brother had died, before my uncle Bobby died I dreamed a dream denoting someone would die, I had a dream in 1997, It was not really a dream. I was asleep and I saw nothing visually, but I heard a voice say Russia will be burned with a great fire and the smoke thereof shall be seen around the world. I also had a second dream that year and in that dream I was sitting in front of a computer and on the computer I was watching a TV news report in the upper right hand corner of the computer, and the news reporter said, Judah has gone bankrupt. The evangelist friend that I had interpeted the dream and said that meant the coming of the anti-christ. In 1997 I also had another dream where I saw no vision, I just head a voice say the name of a city and I believe that city is where I should relocate to after graduating from college. I also had a dream in 997 where I was asleep and saw no vision, I just heard a voice say, Great shall be thy name in all the earth. I then opened up my bible and it fell open to the page where God was telling David, Great shall be thy name in all the earth. God did not lie to David, and he did not lie to me. In 1997 I also dreamed of an invention, a machine I saw that is the first invention that I plan on patenting. That year my sister also concieved an invention. My brothers invention was concieved in 1989 while he was in grammar school. I dreamed of another invention this year. I plan on patenting it next. I also have 2-3 other inventions that I thought of when posed with lifes problems.
