About Me

My photo
I Love being an AFRICAN WOMAN. I believe in being the CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. I love the ARTS. My family= my heart and backbone. I love to LIVE, LOVE, and LAUGH OUT LOUD. I believe laughing is the cure for anything (try it, it just may work for you).I also believe life is to short to hold grudges and to remain in the BOX.I would rather be SUCCESSFUL than RICH. Think about that! I am a LEADER and you should be too, and this blog is titled such because I stopped listening to what others told me to do with my life. I started doing what I love to do by following my dreams and now I am a HAPPY AGGIE! I am in control of how each day plays out, which is why it is MY DAY, EVERYDAY! I will be the 'Oprah/Tyra' of Africa.

Chick Chat and DETERMINATION

Just got home from work, and is it just me who thinks that there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything you planned on doing? That's probably why I'm a night owl. Anyways, this is my first ever blog post...YAY! But its a Pre-Post ( Guess you can call it that) because this blog is under construction until March 25 or 26. I'm pre-posting because I feel this is much easier to do than describing the blog, because I would have to let you know things about me and that is the hardest thing for me to do. I love to interview others and tell their stories, yet the challenge comes when it becomes about me. Can you diagnose the problem? Not gonna lie, I really dont care if you could :).

So yesterday I went with a few AfWiAm ( African Women In America) memebers to a networking event called, Chick Chat Soriee. All I can say is "WOW!" There were so many amazing and powerful women in the room. When we got there, we were given a name tag and we had to pick one quote which best described ourselves. The one I chose re-inspired me to get back on track by making 'the sky, the limit' (so many amazing things to come).

The quote was: " Some succeed because they're destined; others succeed because they're DETERMINED!" 

That's the word of the year: DETERMINATION. With that nothing nor anyone can get in your way of achieving your GOALS and reaching your DREAMS.

Stayed POSTED, some great things to COME.

By the way I just wanted to post the playlist I was listening to while blogging:
Currently listening to: One of my husbands: Lupe Fiasco "HURT ME SOUL" (if you havent heard this, JUMP ON IT!)

Before: D'Banj "FALL IN LOVE" ( my sugar banana)

Prior: "BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD (BOB)" ( This is straight middle school AVM: whoot whoot)

* Nat Brew: "WOGBE" (this goes out to all my borborbor girls and summer 2001)
*Jay-Z:"U DON"T KNOW" ( My first husband)
* Common ft. Bilal:"MISUNDERSTOOD" (One of his best allbums, and I've ran into Bilal while working on 53rd and Hyde Park, of course I would be the only one to spot him....SMH)
* Kelly Clarkson: "MISS INDEPENDENT" ( yes Kelly Clarkson, I dont discriminate and befor Lil Boosie's I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T spelling bee song, there was this)
* Unknown HipLife Artist: "BABY, I LOVE YOU" ( i think that is the title, but me and my hiplife: I loves it!)
* Kanye West, Twista, Jamie Foxx: "SLOW JAMZ" ( this song will never get old, it brings back so many memories from Junior yr @ RHS: whoot whoot)
Shout out to my lil bro bro Karl for the cd's. Tonight's gonna be major fun.
