Save HBCU's?

About Me

I am a GOD fearing, fun loving, energetic, wife, executive, student, sister, daughter, auntie, friend and mentor. I'm passionate about our youth getting their education and being the best I know they can be. I especially love working with young girls and women who are interested in enhancing their lives with access to education. My escape is to read fiction/mystery novels and watching movies.I, like my father hope to one day be an accomplished writer outside of scholarly writing. I AM learning to enjoy working out (running, hiking, aerobics) and being more of an outdoors person. My family is my life, they have supported me all the way.I started working on my Ph.D. Sept. 4, 2007, at Claremont Graduate University. I put this off for 10 years.(PLEASE pray for me). This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

hiking, movies, reading, fine dining, shopping, travel, walking along the beach, road trips, research and family history.


I'd like to meet:
