About me: My journey began in the “Crescent City” of New Orleans, LA., but I currently reside in sunny Florida. I am a 2 time graduate of Florida A&M University (Bachelors and Masters) and I also have a PhD in Health Science. So IBEPHD.
I am married, with one beautiful baby boy. I'm friendly and down to earth. I’m not shy, but not overly outgoing either. I seem to get along with almost anybody. My laptop is my VERY BEST FRIEND, ya no what I mean? Well, best friend besides my hubby ;-)
Democrat Barack Obama wins the presidential election, CNN projects, setting him up to become the first African-American president. I never thought that I'd see the day. In my dreams I couldn't even imagine that I would see an African American president.
This is a day that I will be someday be able to tell my children about. I could just laugh, cry, dance, shout. I'm in total awe...
What a day. November 4, 2008. I'm sitting here waiting for President-elect Obama for take the stage at Grant Park in Chicago. Wait...here he comes. Gotta go!!
I will never forget this moment...

Police have confirmed through forensic testing that the gun they recovered Wednesday in North Lawndale is the weapon used to kill members of actress and singer Jennifer Hudson's family, a law enforcement source said today.
The .45-caliber Sig-Sauer semiautomatic pistol was recovered in the bushes of a vacant lot a block away from the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue where the suburban was found Monday morning. Police immediately had suspected the gun was a match because the unfired bullets in the gun matched the make and model of shell casings found at the murder scene, sources said.
The investigation continues as police try to tie their evidence to a suspect. Julia Hudson's estranged husband, William Balfour, remains in custody after being questioned in the case, but he has not been charged in the murders.

"If you see someone without a smile today, give them one of yours!"
In this video, the mother of the CNN's Nancy Grace speaks to the mother of William Balfour, 'person of interest' in the Jennifer Hudson family murders. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Julia Hudson (Jennifer's sister) and the nephew's stepfather, remains the primary suspect in the murders.
Michele Davis Balfour, William Balfour’s mother states "I'm not going to let them put my son down ... My son had nothing to do with this … and I'm very upset with the police because they are refusing to let me see my son."
Balfour’s mother states "I'm not going to let them put my son down," Balfour's mother, Michele Davis Balfour, told reporters. "My son had nothing to do with this … and I'm very upset with the police because they are refusing to let me see my son."
Then, as of this morning, there's evidence suggesting there may have been another person involved in the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew, as reported onsTMZ.com. Investigators are going over William Balfour's movements after the killings on Chicago's South Side and are trying to determine if someone else drove the prime suspect to the West Side of town, where the body of 7-year-old Julian King was found. Witnesses have told cops they saw Balfour drive a teal Chrysler to the Hudsons' block on Friday morning (day of the murders), and that car was eventually found about a mile away from there. The SUV in which Julian was discovered ended up about 13 miles away from the Hudson house, but not too far away from Balfour’s house.
Now, Mr. Balfour was taken into custody at a girlfriend's home hours after the bodies were found on Friday. On the Nancy Grace video, his mother states that he was with one of his two girlfriend’s when the murders were committed, however sources say the girlfriend contradicted his alibi. Police say they’ve also caught him in at least one other lie. Fortunately, the police were able to track his whereabouts Friday through cell phone records, but this information has not been released. I’m wondering exactly where it is that they found out he was. Hmmm…
Also in the news today is a report that Balfour was busted this summer on a drug charge that could have put him behind bars, but the charge was dropped! His mother denies this in the video w/Nancy Grace. IF its true that he was recently busted the charges dropped, it is possible that this all could have been prevented by keeping him in jail. All of this equals a VERY BIG PROBLEM.

"If you see someone without a smile today, give them one of yours!"
Why are the people in this world so damn crazy!?!?!? WHY?
AP - Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday.
The world became a little less funny today as actor and comedian Bernie Mac passed away at age 50.
He died Saturday morning in a Chicago-area hospital from complications due to pneumonia, according to his publicist, Danica Smith.
In 2005, it was revealed that the comedian suffered from sarcoidosis. His rep previously said Mac's sarcoidosis was not related to the pneumonia, which hospitalized the star last week.
Mac will always be remembered for the laughter he provided through his TV, movie and stand-up comedy career.
He was one of the original "Kings of Comedy," alongside Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Cedric the Entertainer.
I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to his family and closest friends. He will soarly be missed, but I do believe that heaven just got alot funnier.
Rest in peace! We will miss you
