About   (request update)
At Jackson State University I was a Political Science Major. At the age of 14 I was the youngest member of the Black Panther Party. They, along with my Dad persuaded me to attend college. He,my Dad , wanted me to attend Grambling. Not I. I had 4 scholarships*1.) Cornell 2.)Texas Southern 3.) Ohio State and 4.)Florida A.&M.. Through my aunt I went to a football game on Thanksgiving break. This game was at Jackson State University** TURKEY DAY BOWL** Jackson State vs. Alcorn, cold as the North Pole, but my cous and I LOVED IT!!!!! I made my decision right there. Of course after my 1st year I lost my scholarship!!!! It's all good, i hung in ther e anyway.BUT..... My 1st love was dance. I love to dance and my1st,1st love is AFRICAN DANCE> I've done pretty well with it. TRULY!!! I followed my HEART!! I consider myself lucky, blessed,and special. I've had WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES in my life through dance. I will continue to Dance until the DAY I DIE!!!
