About Me

What can I say? Um...

...I'm a renaissance lady, and the youngest of 4 siblings, with two great parents (alright Deacon & Missionary!!!)...
...I love God above all...everything that IS in life is through Him and His Son...HE IS!!!!
...I met the love of my life in 2007 - in the person of my beautiful daughter, Gabrielle...
...I was raised with a sure foundation: the Grand Ole' CHURCH-OF-GOD-IN-CHRIST! (that's the way the narrator says it on Bishop Mason's video - LOL). Shout out to all COGIC, and also to the next step of the Progressive Life-Giving Word Cathedral in Hillside, IL, where the great Apostle Donald L. Alford is Pastor...
...I'm now a proud member and one of the founding team of Destiny Worship Center (The "Right Reverend" Pastor DeAndre Patterson - smile). Destiny is a fast-growing, ever-evolving, AWESOME MOVE OF GOD on the 'westside' of Chicago, Illinois (come on around to Destiny Country)! I serve proudly as Director of Marketing & Communications...
...I've recently joined the team as a Computer Instructor in Jobs For Youth , a free career development & job placement program for teens and young adults ages 17 to 24. We proudly equip them with the professional skills needed to achieve their academic and employment goals and continue on the path to self-sufficiency...
