Finally a new post


So, I have to be the worst blogger in the world. I go through the trouble of creating one, and then don't make any posts for... roughly a year. So much has happened, definitely too much to include everything within the gap, so I will resign to starting NOW!!

First let me say that I had an amazing year as Miss Black DC USA 2008 and am extremely proud of young lady who took up the title.

Second, I proudly won the title of Miss DC International 2009 and had my crowning moment on May 10th of this year. I had the opportunity to travel for the first time to Chicago, Illinois and compete in the Miss International pageant, and met so many amazing women that will hopefully be friends for life.

As Miss DC International I got an amazing young woman as my teen sister Queen Juliana McKee who is by far a much more diligent blogger than I could ever hope to be.

I chose Character Education as my platform and it is my mission to pump it into the schools of DC and get out the mission of the Character Education Partnership, and fantastic non profit organization I have the pleasure of being a spokesperson for.

I performed in a concert this past Sunday, performing four solo songs, and two group songs for three sopranos. It was an amazing opportunity to do what I love to do best SING!!!! and I will be more focused on finding more chances to share my talent.

On a sad note, my beautiful SAI sister Diane Grainger passed this afternoon of a head injury due to an accident. Her family is in my prayers. We love you, and will never forget you and your amazing talent.
