Bio

I am an Alabama native who is optimistic, ambitious and eager to help society. Since childhood, my dream has been to change the world in some form, whether it's on a small or large scale. I've always enjoyed helping individuals, and with my new organization, L.I.F.T., I plan to do just that. L.I.F.T. (Leadership, Intellect, and Femininity Training) is an organization I am starting with my peers and other individuals in my community. The purpose of L.I.F.T. is to "uplift" troubled young girls living in the inner city. L.I.F.T. will serve as an intensive training program for these females. The organization will shape their overall development by teaching them leadership traits, enhancing their overall intellectual capability, and teaching them etiquette and proper feminine/graceful habits that will strengthen their interpersonal and intrapersonal character. My goal is for these skills to carry them from childhood to adulthood.

Hi Jazz
Its really good to hearing from you too.
Wow you guys are really doing a great work because i have gone through your blog and pictures and its good..keep it up
Jazz your profile is cooler than mine......lol
Sure i will keep you updated about my venture and i hope we will be able to collaborate as time goes on, on one or two programs. But presently we are trying to put up a website for our venture and also we are planning to create a fundraising page on GlobalGiving.org to raise funds for our 4 key prgrams for 2009 because currently all our programs are been sponsored by me and my team members because uptil now we have not able to receive the YV grant since we were awarded April 08
Stay bless and wish you a happy New Year
