News and organizations

           The Chicago Bulls did an awesome job last night. The won against New York Knicks.  Right after the game, I went to bed. When I got up this morning and every morning, I turn on, Good Morning America. I get the breaking news, weather and so much more. Today's musical guest was, Taylor Swift.  All of these great Media outlets like Twitter to keep us informed. WKKC 89.3 FM is a college radio Station located on Kennedy King Campus in Chicago. They allow students to learn and get the experience they need to succeed in the media program.  Another notable news source is the Chicago Tribune. My teacher John Owen, happens to work for this company. I think he really enjoys his job.

Celebrities

Power, powerful and more power .From television Host to Political forces and actress, some of these women and men help influence our country. Oprah had the longest running talk show since the late Johnny Carson. Condoleezza Rice is the former  Secretary of State & National Security Advisor.  Queen Latifah, has gone from, rapper activist, to the big screen and now having her own television talk show. What an awesome example of, against all odds, you can do and be anything you set your mind too.   Last not forget our very own, Robin Robinson, Broadcast journalist of Chicago news 20+ years.  I remember her visit to Kennedy King college Media Dept. I got one good picture of her from afar. I aspire to walk in her shoes one day. But for now, walk with  me as I Tweet on Twitter .
 

I love Music...Any kinda Music!

Yes, I love music. Sometimes I believe I may even sing in my sleep. The reason I have chosen some of these artist, is, they have been very instrumental to my belief and faith in God. Some I have even encountered on a personal level. Well, at least it felt like it upon meeting them. Fred Hammond, Mary Mary, and Reggie Royal & Judah, who happens to be my Senior Pastor of Lifeline Church Chicago, have inspired me to be the best person I can be with the Creator's help! I attended the Gospel Fest last summer in Chicago. I always take my children to events so they too can have memorable moments as well. Mega Duo, Erica And Tina Campbell of Mary Mary departed from their trailer. The crowd screamed their names as they waved back to the crowd. Suddenly, they began to walk in my direction. As I pulled out my phone, my middle daughter Oni, knocked the phone out of my hand in excitement!! I called to the men working behind the stage, but the music was too loud. Erica Campbell heard me and handed me my phone…HOW COOL WAS THAT!! I told her I was the 3rd Mary, and we laughed. No matter how old I get, my love for music will never die. Check out my Twitter account for some more of my interest.

Windy City with Mz. Faith





                                             
  WINDY CITY LIVE


I really enjoyed my day. Got two tickets to the Windy City Live Studio taping. My oldest sister joined me as we waited for the special guest to appear. " Grey's Anatomy" Chandra Wilson and "Top Model" Jaslene Gonzalez were on the show. Although the taping went pretty fast, I made sure I got the opportunity to see my girl, host Val Warner. That's my story and I'm sticking to it in
 the windy city.

Beauty is in the eyes of He who Beholds


I choose these photos because of the richness in color. Each photo highlights a memorable moment in a persons life, that has been captured through the lens of the photographer. Wither on the  windy streets of Chicago or in beautiful France, life is capture by the click of a human.

One World Trade Center, New York City       
                       



13 years later after the bombing of the Twin Towers in New York, we now see the One World Trade Center.  This photo speaks volumes and reminds us of that tragic day on Sept. 11, 2001. The year before, a friend of mine and I, flow to New York to celebrate her birthday. 7 years later, I would be returning to New York to visit Ground Zero, the place where so many lives where lost. This picture depicts how for we've come as a country and how we can’t allow evil people to destroy our lives, but be can build again and start anew. The families connected to this tragedy will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. This photo is very effective because upon looking at it, you already know the history behind the building.
