Black Girls ROCK!

I've got to say, this is the proudest I've been of BET. Being from the Caribbean, it still is a struggle for me to identify as "black" because of its connotations and denotations. I do not know if it is a title that fits, because its meaning in the USA does not come closest to my self-identity. But if it is a matter of only skin color, then yes, I am Black and so at home in my own skin.

I love this program Black Girls Rock because I've noticed within myself the confidence and leadership abilities I have has faded, because I do not practice it. I did a photoshoot last year and my knees were shaking ... this from a girl who was Vice President of Student Government, Varsity Volleyball Captain, Wolmerian, Prom Queen, Fundraiser, Event Planner, Scholarship winner, and all around peer leader.

The Black Girls Rock program really inspires me. I am graduating from college with less confidence than I had going in ... there's something inherently wrong about that.

I just need to get back on that horse, be active, and grab every leadership opportunity.

No matter who says I can't or what says I cant.

I'm a Brilliant. Resilient. Persistent. Determined. Trailblazer. Phenomenal Woman!

My Lucky Day

It's official!

It's my lucky day!

There I was, worrying about my overdraft fees ... because yes, times are tough and I didnt have enough to cover my tuition and transport costs ... and then my lucky day comes along!

My telephone banker got my overdraft fees reversed! All of them! And even after saying they would only allow up to $34. :-) Even he sounded surprised! So I told him I'd go and play the lottery haha.

AND, upon hanging up my cellphone company called ... to say hi!! And thanks for being with us!!!

What the what?? And then I said, are there discounts for students? And so she checks ... and ... Yes there is, 15%!! So I just have to add my name as an account holder to get it.

AND, now my friend (who was supposed to be in FL this weekend) called and said get dressed and call me back! Sounds like fun, fun, fun!

And I'm sooo ready for some fun!

P.S. My sister gave me $100 last week. Yippeee!
