Jen’s family and friends coming through to my 1st show was a highlight. When family comes out to support, the potential for a stellar evening is lifted. FYI, the jasmine Lei around my neck is real and extended the most deliriously amazing scent.

I was so blessed to be invited to the Leon H. Sullivan Summit the year it happened to be hosted in Abuja Nigeria. Abuja happens to be located approximately 3 and ½ -4 hrs away (by car) from Benin City where my family resides most of the time. I was fortunate enough to find an opportunity to sneak away from the Summit for 28hrs or so to visit my beloved gang. The welcome and the love I received from those kids and my parents, MY FAMILY, makes me appreciate the gifts that God packs away for me everywhere I go and everywhere I allow Him to take me. I miss the heck out of these guys already…
