Favorite Memory - I have entirely too many to name. But I guess one or the most important one for me was when we sang in Houston, Texas at Dr. Joe Samuel Ratliff's church, Brentwood Baptist Church and the pastor gave us the entire worship service for a concert, and over 46 people came and gave their lives to Jesus Christ. One more, We were in Miami, Flordia in 2001, Pastor Jeronn Cordel Williams, Sr. and myself (who are without ANY DOUBT, BEST NLIGC SPADES PLAYERS THAT HAVE EVER, EVER, EVER SAT AT A CARD TABLE) We BEAT the stew meat out of Paul S. Morton, Jr, and (Robert) Rashead Flake. They cheated on Jeronn and myself they let us get all the books one hand, we went back 100 points, we both got upset. We went a blind 10 for 200 and got it, beat them and then put them out of our room. They didn't speak to us for 2 days on the tour.
Well, after graduating from Morris Brown College (2003), I moved back to Oakland, California to raise my daughter Marissa Ranay. I am serving on staff as the Co-Pastor to my father Rev. J. R.

I am presently, along with my father, getting ready to organize another church location in Richmond, California. Richmond is just about 10 miles away from Oakland. The church name will also be The Victory Church!

Favorite Memory - Choir Tour 2004! Although I have been singing in the choir since my sophomore year I never went on tour. Much to my delight tour was great! I was given the opportunity to fellowship and minister to God's children and it made me feel great inside. I love New Life Inspirational Gospel Choir, my involvment has truly made my college experience meaningful.
I am currently in Atlanta taking a year off. I will be enrolling in graduate school for the Fall 2005 school year in either VA, DC or NYC getting my masters in Forensic Science. Hallelujah!
