when i grow up

when i grow up
Posted By: Ayanna Muhammad on October 09, 2005


you know, there are always those little voices in the back of your mind reminding you of what you said you wanted to be when you grew up. well, i'm grown. and when i think of all the things i said i wanted to do, it's time for me to get to work checking off some of those things from my list.

so, in the spirit of getting out our dreams like kanye, i am about to embark on my most courageous adventure yet. i have had the same job since the day i walked accross the stage and took that empty degree cover from our past and present presidents.



when the clock strikes twelve and marks the beginning of a new year, i will be OFFICIALLY self employed. i took a little inspiration from daniel and william and the wonderful job they have done with this site and making a life and living for their families and i'm steeping out on faith and getting my own company off the ground. i'm stating it here and now so that i will be too ashamed of making myself a liar in front of all of you on hbcu-central and the entire world wide web.

so here it is. my declaration of independence. so look out for me. Two Fingers Press is coming your way.

Wow, deep!
I love this and such great conviction and testimony for all to see.
Now thats faith!
I wish you the epitome of Deu 1:11.
A thousand fold increase and then the real Blessing in only the way God can.
I admire this Sis and can write a whole page to you about what you are doing.
Sounds so familiar.
"God" Bless
Sincerest
William

p.s. Can't wait to hear about all out there(the world via God).
