About Me

I am of Hispanic decent- my dad being from Puerto Rico..I have been blessed to have a rich ethnic Latino as well as African-American heritage!! ..I was born and raised in the inner city of Chicago.Northern-Born, Northern-Bred... I have a wonderful family, my kids are really the light of my life-I am really enjoying them "growing and going"! I also have two wonderful and beautiful grandchildren Brisyn and Brenton whom I love dearly )-)...Music is my passion; God really gave me a new song, and an appreciation for all sorts of music. I truly believe that you should embrace your life as if it is the very last day of it....sing like no one's listening, dance like no one's watching, and love like you do not expect anything in return....do not be a part of the "woulda, shoulda, coulda" club..the graveyard is filled with broken dreams....don't look for an example...be one! Never let anyone put you in a box...you are too big for that!!The sky does not even have to be the limit for you!! I have traveled all over the United States, and abroad. I have been affectionately called as of late "the incredible shrinking woman" because of the significant weight loss I am experiencing! Things could not be better! I have a new lease on life. I am more focused than I have been for a very LONG time!! Life is good. I also am CEO of my own Marketing Firm, Destiny Consulting Group. I am also a professional voice coach/teacher...I have been one for 20 plus years and enjoy it...I love to help out in ministry and do whatever needs to be done in the name of the Lord..... I LOVE JESUS AND PEOPLE....it is my goal to make every opportunity one that will last in the hearts of others...I am a survivor, and if I can make it, anyone can! It is my belief that challenges come to make us BETTER, not BITTER...it's all in the "I"..I serve in leadership in the greatest church in all the world....Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church,In Atlanta,Georgia, where my Pastor is the renound Bishop Paul S. Morton, and my Co- Pastor is none other than the anointed Debra Morton....if there are any two people I love with every fiber of my being outside of my immediate family, it is these two...they are my true parents in the Gospel!!! A dynamic pair to say the least! My true mentors....Always remember....it's NEVER too late..... I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! Myspace Graphics
