About   (request update)
Current Whereabouts:
For more than a decade, I’ve had the privilege to engage and interact with students at HBCUs and other predominantly black institutions (PBIs), and help them as they work to navigate college and prepare to enter the workforce. Through years of presentations, workshops, and one-on-one discussions, I’ve been able to share my personal and professional views, knowledge, and experience on those issues that matter most to them; at times even tackling issues they never knew existed. My unique insight into both the advantages and challenges facing these students, motivates me to do what I can to help get them to the next level. For me, it’s important that these dynamic individuals are armed with realistic, relevant, and reliable information they can use in the design of their future.

God bless you and I hope that you are having a great day. I was listening to this musical tribute to Maya Angelou. It was very touching and I thought that I would share it with you. This is the link. Share it with a friend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KbhUa9YwaY Also, if you get a chance visit my profile and view some information about my daughter that might interest you.

Thank you for becoming friends The website presentation http://www.trylightyear.com/ is not directly about paying off student loans. But Take notice of the 2nd testimonial (which is 2min. into the video) when the single mother talks about sharing this LightYear Wireless concept with her 2 daughters. IT was at that moment I decided to put together a simple spend sheet that any HBCU-CONNCTION student could use to take control of their student debt. MY basic theory using this LightYear Wireless concept was to help you & other students to do this just 1 time/wk. You will learn how to earn weekly income (so that you can just to enjoy the college life) & monthly residual income. It is the residual income that I'm trying to show you in the spread sheet on how to payoff your student loans. The new school year has just started & I'm willing to bet that you have shared your cell phone # with 10 new friends. And most of them have the same student loan concerns as you. Please simply reply by going to my profile website an under my picture entry your infro. I'm only asking that you let me get this FREE spend sheet into your hands. I like to hear your opinion about this concept for paying bac student loans. Have a blessed day.
