My daughter Breazia and my 16 year-old teammate, Marve in our hotel room. They consider themselves sisters, and of course, I'm mom. Marve even calls me annecim (pronounced ah-nay-jim), meaning my mother.

I’m one of those people who likes to reiterate what I say. I drive a point home when I believe that there’s a message attached for us to learn from. I view life’s journey as a series of lessons we are learning in accordance to our specific purpose. We must learn the lessons that will enable and strengthen us to do what it is we are here to do in our lifetime. Just as students in a class have a teacher, a book has an author, a TV show has an MC, I believe that I’m here to pass along a message. That I’m a messenger of sorts. I think my message is tied to my experiences, as I see them. A bunch of lessons along a path…toward my destiny.
