With a solid foundation of faith handed down from my grandmother & mother, this has been the glue which has held me together. I have been profoundly inspired by Michael Jackson. His passion to make the world a better place has become my passion & I hope to make a difference in this world for the remainder of my life in whatever ways God calls me.
