About   (request update)
Prior to facing my own mortality with a breast cancer diagnosis in 2013, I didn’t see a way to fulfill my life’s purpose. I underwent a double mastectomy which gave me a genuine thirst for knowledge. My life was fraught with molestation and domestic abuse. I am a single parent to five children, one with special needs. I have withstood homelessness and poverty. I realized completing my education is critical to transforming me and my children’s lives, allowing us a chance to thrive and turn our socioeconomic position around. I grew up in New York City, surrounded by a “melting pot” of different ethnicities and I thrive in a diverse culture. I am very ingenious and I will be an asset to your prominent campus.
I will complete my Associate Degree in Social Science at American River College in the summer of 2016. At ARC I have taken many classes that have enriched my knowledge helping me to become more articulate. I am a member of the Umoja-Sakhu Community, at ARC. I have a strong desire to attend Howard University and major in Sociology, which will enrich my knowledge of histories, cultures and many matters within several ethnic groups. Continuing my journey of higher learning and earning my Bachelor’s Degree at such a prestigious institution as Howard University, will enable me to continue to overcome many of my obstacles. I anticipate graduating from Howard University in the summer of 2018.
Current Whereabouts:
Creating a Legacy for my children.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
To create a not for profit organization that will enrich the lives of many socioeconomically.

Hello, I hope that all is well with you. If you get a chance please visit please visit my profile where I hope I have given you some words of wisdom, to live by. When you go to my profile page make sure that you click on the link to my website for some information on how you can earn some extra money with your own online business. Yes, I personally use this system and I promise you that you will not get rich, but the extra money comes in handy. I also realize that this type of program may not interest you and that's okay. If this is the case, share the link with someone else that might be interested. The economic arena is rough out here and is likely to get worse. This information just might be what someone may need to change their financial landscape.
