Someday she would like to open her own accounting agency. She says "I
feel that being elected on the Greater Flint Afro-American Hall of
Fame would be one of the greatest things that could ever happen to
a young black lady, who is as enthusiastic about black achievers and
sports the way I am. I feel that if a young lady or young man accomplishes
this position they should be obligated to set a good example before
their peers, instead of defaulting their position. They should be willing
and ready to do whatever it takes to make the Flint schools the most
prominent and competitive school district in the state."
