My mother and grandmother was my best motivation and inspiration ever.I graduated from Walter L. Cohen Sr. High School. I have a degree in Child Development, and also in Interior Decorator/ Design. I am a Licensed Cosmetologist of many years graduated from John Jay Beauty School. I am very devoted to the Lord, devoted wife, mother and grandmother. I love singing, learning more about the bible each and everyday. I am a very unique and caring person. I am here to do God YAHWEH will, for I know he has plans for me. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and My Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I fear? My grandchildren are the joy of my life and believe me I wouldn't trade them for the world. Let the life I live speak for me!!!!!
