Hello World, 

Although I love God more than any other being, my other great love (other than my husband and family) are celebrities…So when an opportunity arose to cover the 23rd Annual Trumpet Awards Ceremony from the red carpet, I couldn’t pass it up…So I got my hair did, face did, toes did and wore a dress I’ve had in my closet since my 20s (yay me…#notsohumblebrag)(check out the “us-sie” of me and Mystikal, who performed at the Trumpet Awards)

and joined the rest of the paparazzi with my Kodak easyshare and went to work…So below are a few of my photos…Make sure to watch the actual awards ceremony on TV One this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
