Future aspirations: I would like to be an attorney and eventually a judge. I also would like to work as a producer/director of different theatrical productions.
Favorite past time? Laughing/spending time with loved ones, reading, etc.
What pushes you when things get tough? The idea and lived experiences that have taught me that the only thing you won’t survive in your life is your death and you already have a 100% survival rate. My family and I have been through a lot of hard times and a lot of difficult situations, but thank the Lord we have made it through. I’ve learned to appreciate the hard times and the trials, because that is when you can find out what you’re made of & perhaps more importantly, that’s the perfect opportunity for your family and friends to really love you for you.
What’s your favorite song currently? “Treat Me Like Fire” (Snakeship Remix) – Lionbabe. LionBabe is one of my favorite bands and this particular song has a really cool message and nice 90’s R&B beat.
Who inspires you? My grandparents Raymond and Frances Leonard. During the 60’s, he and my grandmother moved from Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia with nothing but some furniture and their five kids. They later went on to become the first two people in my family to attend and graduate from college. Additionally, they started Covington Bible Baptist Church, which just celebrated its 33 year anniversary this past March.
Favorite quote? Favorite Quote: Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
