What do I say? I was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Hempstead, Long Island until the age of 15 years old and then relocated with my parents to New Bern, NC. It was in North Carolina that I met the love of my life and my future husband, Seth Vail. We will be celebrating 30...yes "30" years of holy matrimony and wedded bliss in 2007 (yes you can stay together that long)! I am the mother of 2 extraordinary daughters and the mema of an incredibly beautiful and gifted grandaughter, who will blow me out the water one day! I love my family. God is so good! I have an AA degree in Occupational Therapy Assistance and will graduate with a BS degree in Community Health Education in May 2007. I am currently working with the elderly in rehabilitation therapy and I LOVE it! Working with wisdom everyday adds to my life more than I could ever express in words. Those of you who do not have some form of contact with the elderly are doing yourselves a great disservice. I have also been blessed to sing along with or shared an audience with some of the greatest singers and ministers anywhere! Donnie McClurkin, Alvin Slaughter, Tramaine Hawkins, Vickie Yohe', Tammy Trent, Maurette Brown-Clark, Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Anthony Hamilton, and Andy Williams to name a few. I have also been honored to sing to the world through TBN, the largest Christian broadcasting station on earth! In 2006 I, along with Maurette Brown-Clark and JB Wilkins, were the producers of the HBO series, "The Wire" theme song titled, "Way Down In the Hole". I am one of the founders of the group "DoMaJe" who sang the theme song. However my greatest audience has been in nursing homes, prisons, bars, clubs, and most of all the bush areas of Africa. To see people who are "looking", "longing", and "lost" accept that Christ really loves them is life to me. I live to find those people, go where they are and have them feel the touch of God through my gift of song. For me singing is an avenue that God uses to physically touch and change lives...something happens when I sing for Him. I'll go anywhere for the One that I love. I also love people and I love to see them happy and living blessed and fulfilled lives. I LOVE to laugh and to make others laugh! I enjoy the life that God has blessed me with on the good days and the not so good days...I am thankful. So look for me to turn up in the most obscure places singing about the greatest LOVE to be found anywhere! It may be to an audience of one or millions, send me...I'll go.
