my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

My ex-friend got into trouble and I ended up coming home, which I didn't have a problem with, as I have a daughter and three grandchildren.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I had a job when I was 41.  The fact is, a close friend was murdered and my life changed drastically as a result.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Married, with a job and awaiting my 65th birthday.

a postcard to my younger self

To never give up and never let the fact that people don't agree with your decisions deter you.

my role models

Oprah, Harriet Tubman, Cicely Tyson, and any Black woman who rose above her adversities.
