Sol2Soul: My Life Mission











You may or may not know that when I first graduated college I pursued a career in Broadcast Journalism & Spanish. I wanted to be a bilingual TV personality. I actually wanted to be the Latina Oprah but of course with my own flavor . Although, I don't agree with everything Oprah supports, I do have respect for her knowing her craft so well.  In addition, I'd love to be as witty as Ellen and as giving.  She has the best surprises for families.  My dream has always become an anonymous philanthropist.  Lastly, it would be fun to sit down and be on the Queen Latifah show to meet Nick Cannon who is one of the only celebrity Lupus advocates. I admire his courage to speak out about the cruel mystery.  Plus, Queen Latifah seems like an interesting easy going type of person.

The irony with Nick Cannon is that I was on stage with his wife, Mariah Carey, during the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.  I was supposed to be working as a production assistant and instead was pulled on stage as an extra.  I believe that video is on Youtube somewhere. (http://youtu.be/2sS64fHGfUA)

Yes, I'm the lady sitting up front with blonde highlights!  I have stories for days.  I definitely lived in the moment and traveled as much as I could before I settled down =).

In addition, it would be fun to meet Katie Couric, since I admired her as a journalist on The Today Show since I was young.  

Let me tell you a story...In the summer of 2001, I earned a prestigious fellowship that landed me a job in NYC working for Westwood One Radio and CBS Television in Artist Relations. I landed my first dream job which consisted of covering red carpets, movie premiers and CD release parties.

Even though I was living a dream, I felt there was something more to life like I was missing the meaning.  Interviewing celebrities was entertaining, but I didn't feel I was making a difference.  We all are built with gifts to make a difference in this world.  I believe at that time in my life I had lots of religion in my life, but it wasn't until Sept. 11th that I understood what it was like to have a personal relationship with Jesus. It's forever changed my life!

In this video clip, I was a part of a great movement with Ujima magazine and Ujima TV in Austin, TX back in 2011. My Co - host, Damita Miller-Shanklin, took a few minutes to interview me. I happen to run across the clip today. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm so thankful to be used by God. I'm glad I woke up in time to know the truth and stand on His promises. My story evolves into many more interesting chapters this year. I will need to update my personal TV reel soon. I know God has big plans of the places He plans to take me and Quevarra Moten to share it with others worldwide as we grow the #PowerofWomen Series.
