Most Attractive Attitude

I never realized how good God is until he blesses me. Even with all the prayer that I do at night time, I should not have to wait for God to bless me, to know that HE IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. I am so happy that I'm able to get closer to him and understand his word. Also understanding my purpose here, and what he needs for me to accomplish. My passion for journalism is BEYOND my imagination. I have this sincere drive to help so many "unspoken" voices & allow them to be heard nation wide. I feel that its my duty to help the next generation of children...by guiding them and giving them all the opportunities that God has given me. I am more than blessed and I want to be a blessing in somebody else's life. My passion for Journalism is just the beginning...



is PASSION....

Still Missing You



fIRST off Happy 21st Birthday Agnes. Its been a 2 years since you left, and I when i think about you I start to cry. I'm not going to lie, I have gotten over what D.K did, but at the sametime I wish that I could have spoken to you one last time. Unfortunately I will have to wait and that is fine with me. I know that each and everyday you watching all of us and I pray for your family contionously for their strength tp overcome all the challenges they face. I know that you are in a better place, and happy more than ever. When we were younger we always talked about when we turned "21" and all the stuff we were going to do. Never thought that I would be the only one. Just wish you were here physically to celebrate. I love you ma'am. Afrimakias for life

Will it Ever End..



For the past month, one of the most controversial topics, has become the death of music innovator Michael Jackson. Unfortunately his life ended, but at the same time when he was alive, was the media actually allowing him to live? This incident has become such an eye opener especially for me, taking note on everything that has become "nationally televised" Now they have an investigation on the doctor and exactly his intentions with Michael those last few moments. Each family is having to endure hardships right now, but as they say "there is a brighter day". I honestly just pray for the strength of each family, because the loss of a loved one, leaves a hole that cannot be replaced. I just pray that after all these investigations, they will allow this man to rest, because Marlon stated it best at the memorial "We will never understand what he endured ... being judged, ridiculed. How much pain can one take? Maybe, now, Michael, they will leave you alone.”

What's next.....

This child is so gifted and talented I wish there was more that I could possibly do, to enrich her career. These images have no story behind them. There purpose is unknown, but your able to get a feeling off her artwork...more to come

I look at photography as a form of journalism, except instead of writing or speaking about your work, your able to capture moments, that are evidently priceless

Essence Intern

I cannot believe it. Did this really just happen to me. Like I am still amazed that I have been blessed with an opportunity that came out of nowhere. Usually when I apply for internships that I am really desiring, I never seem to get them. So when I got the email confirming that I was accepted, I wanted to cry! Super super anxious I truly was, me interning with Essence Magazine, god truly will bless you when you least expect it. Headed out to Louisiana, New Orleans to be exact for my internship on June 29, I could not wait until the drive was over. This was an experience of a lifetime. Met so many people of all different backgrounds, it allowed me to actually work with people whom i've only know for a short amount of time. Production PRODUCTION...PRO-DUCI-TION....OMG! I see now why so many PRODUCERS/ DIRECTORS are stressed about their work. Never realized how much work it took into getting a show of this magnitude prepared. Learned alot and wouldn't trade a single moment for anything!

ME

So this something new for me and I feel that eventually it will help me out in the long run.
