I am a 54 year old mother of 4 children, Josetta, Shanika, Trevel, and Briana and a grandmother of 6, Jakai, Jaidyn, James, Jamaree, Jordyn, and Journee.  I grew up with my mother, Christine (RIP), my grandmother, Hattie (RIP), and my 3 sisters, Janice (RIP), Barbara (RIP), and Hope on 43rd and Lake Park.  I now reside in the city of Chicago on the southeast side.
