"When I was growing up, I was blessed with a loving immediate and extended family.  Both mama
and big mama raised me to be mindful of my actions, to respect my elders and to do unto others, as
you would have them do unto you. For the past four years, I have had a burning sensation inside of
me that caused me many sleepless nights.  Many of the youth today are failing, before they even
start adulthood because they seemingly don't have any direction.  Education isn't the panacea, but
it sure helps prepare them for a brighter future.  Many parents want to send their kids to college but
are strapped financially and need help.  Adrienne and I have successfully sent one into college
and have another heading out in two years.  I've started an organization that I feel can change the
lives of thousands of teens if they are willing to learn how to act in the workplace and how to apply
for college aid that is going unused each and every year.  I know together we can make a
difference.  Won't you join me in the fight to educate our youth?"
