My little sister! The meticulous one of the bunch. The definition of “make it make sense”! Tionne’ is the most thoughtful, caring person you will ever meet! You come to her with a problem and she will try her hardest to find a solution. If she can’t find a solution, she’ll try to make your day and if she can’t make your day, she’ll at least let you know that you are thought of and loved. She’s never too busy for her friends or family. The best little sister around!

My Big sister! The most social of the three of us! Tia is the one that can make conversation and relate to every person she meets. A trait I’ve always admired. The perfect person to call just to vent. Tia won’t flat out tell you that you were wrong, she’ll tell you she sees where you were frustrated but she wouldn’t have said it like that lol. The best listener and obviously the best big sister!

Aisha is like my third sister. We started our friendship by being the only two people too chicken to do the Ouija Board at a birthday party. Almost 20 years later and we’re still not going to do that. Aisha is so rational and level headed but always down for my shenanigans (even if she doesn’t see it fully working out). I am forever grateful for our friendship.

My charismatic cousin, Tori. The one I can talk to about all the garbage reality TV I watch. She is so driven and passionate about everything she pursues in life. She lives life with such an admirable fire and loves her family with that same fierceness. Love ya, Cuz!

That friendship that comes along well into adulthood. After babies, but not before we found the loves of our lives. Rachel will defend her friends and family something fierce, but could also peacefully drink a cup of tea in the middle of chaos as she minds her business. A work hard and treat yourself kinda girl! So funny, so kind and I am so grateful for our friendship.

Timothy Perry, my Best Man; but is the definition of a True best friend. Tim has been here through it all and I never had to request his presence. Fam has been there through all the Ups and all the downs. We done went on many trips and never had a fall out. We talk almost everyday and never had an argument. These things might seem minor; but it plays a major part in the person I am today! Continue being you! Your good energy is contagious!

Chris Johnson the guy of few words; but his every move is impactful. Even though we're first cousins; he's more of a brother to me than anything. Growing up, most all of our interests mirrored one another’s, from playing video games, to our favorite NBA player, to getting similar vehicles!  Chris seems to be quiet; but his presence is known when he comes into a room!

Ausha Barnes, the Voice of Hope! Anytime there's a need for encouraging words or advice, Ausha is the one to call, and I know he will answer every time! Keep speaking, one day the world is going to hear your message.

Michael Johnson has been in my corner as far back as I can remember. Easily one of the most talented and hard working people I know. From playing with drumsticks, to shooting 30ft shots on the court. Glad to be able to call you a Teammate in this thing called "Life". Your ability to continue pushing when things doesn't seem to be in your favor is inspiring!

Devante Pollock the Hard-working, passionate little brother that has overcome many obstacles to become the man that he is today. Te' has a Heart of a Lion and will continue conquering the things that will hinder most.
