I am the product of two real, down to earth, loving,giving people. My parents etched in both mine and my brothers minds to be hard workers.

Education (request update)

Hampton University class of 1993

Undergrad Major: Education

Campus Organization:

Alpha Kappa Alpha

Claim To Fame:

My claim to fame is my humor, stories and straight forward conversations.

Most Memorable Moment:

Meeting my best and life long friends. We call each other Sissies. This is because we are sisters from other mothers. We literally have that strong of a bond, that has lasted through all these years. My other memories of Hampton were the blackouts from storms and the guys would raid our dorms. Our Friday night Boones Farm and spades sessions and of course my fondest memories were me and my sissies meeting in "The Grill" in between classes to eat lunch.

High School: Queen of Peace in Burbank, IL class of 1989

Activities & Accomplishments:

A major accomplishment for me was making it through high school being one of a few Blacks in a all female Catholic School setting. Even though it was the 80's, there were instances that did resemble

Best Memories:

My best high school memory was receiving my acceptance letters from Hampton University, Xavier University, Dillard University and Prarie View A.M. all on the same day. Then, being able to take them back to my senior high school counselor and showing her my letters. This was a proud time for me, because I was counseled to attend a junior college because my 2.8 GPA was not good enough for a four year universiry. Isn't that something!!!!!
