You know I have to give outs to my people. Here goes.
Family
First, to my parents Gwen and Vic and my stepparents Van and Cheryl. Also to my sibs my little brothers Terrence, Richard, and Sean, my little sister Meghan, and my older sisters Adrienne and Jennifer and my new baby niece.
Now on to the cuzo's. First to Tarava and Vonda. They have been like sisters to me. Alicia and Little Derrick. Eric and Ashely and Brit, B and Alex.
And last but certainly not least My cousins Merah, Moky, Quincy, Dionna, and Denetra. Much love to all of y'all.
Hometown Friends
These are the people that for the most part I grew up with. Cydney, Tasha, Chundra, John, Tereta, Becky, The Sams, Damenya, Kim, Mandy, Christy, Jessica, Jeff, Amanda, Lisa, Sheree, Ashley, and many more (if I forgot you I'm sorry, just let me know) Some of the best times of my life were spent with these people. I got much love for all of y'all.
U of I Peeps
I'm just getting here and I've already found a great group of people to kick it with. I just have to give my shoutouts to Autumn, Beth, Kia, Liz, Michanna, Punkin, Shameika, Meena, Tish, The Tiffanies and Sharita, Candace, Mike, Miguel, The Dereks, Rae and Cyn, The Sankofa Crew: Wendell, Charisse, Kianna, Monique, Michelle, Rapheal, Shonta, Brande, Mary, Phil, Marco, Chezare, and Makqueia. And all the other people I had so much fun with since I've been here. You all have made my first two semesters great. I hope you can suffer thru the next (hopefully only) six.
