Favorite moment on campus? Meeting my then boyfriend (now husband) and joining my sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Favorite professor? This is a very hard question, but I would like to go with Dr. Sharon Howell but the late, great Professor Wilma Garcia was awesome too
Best class? My communication class: Group Dynamics
Song(s) you listened to when you studied? My list is long as I love music, but Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" and "Don't Be Cruel," Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" and Al B. Sure!'s "Nite and Day" were a close second to my R&B favorites, which included New Edition's "If It Isn't Love," Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever" and Anita Baker's "Giving You the Best That I Got."
How did you meet your best friend on campus? My best friend was my roommate from my hometown of Flint. We graduated together. I still love her dearly to this day!
