Today I went to the dr. I am already on Keppra XR 1000mg twice a day. If you looked at me, you’d see a professional black woman, like there was nothing wrong with her. You’d see beauty, as this is how I see myself.
Today I had to have some tests done, and was told I would have to take a second seizure rx, alone with the one I now take.
Today I lost what I made myself think was a very good friend.
Today I learned that I will have to have a series of tests done, depending on the blood work.
Today was a very sad day for me. I am signing off web now.
Peace.

This is Sis Leah X, and I just want to express my gratitude for your fan-ship! I am so excited that we will get to the 1000 we need, and we will even surpass that!!
Please share with everyone you know, and feel free to share information on this page.
We need these fans to get sponsors that will offset the costs to pay for studio time, purchase our own equipment (we also accept donated equipment and funds), etc. There are misc items that need to be paid for as well: sets, costumes, gas, insurance, etc etc etc (that means a lot more).
Effective training is needed to give our children a competitive edge when entering the scholastic and professional market. Why not help?
Peace and prosperity to you and yours

While the struggling economy has definitely served as a catalyst for encouraging African Americans to consider starting their own businesses, current research from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation shows that black-owned businesses continue to face barriers to access to capital that may be based on race.
In an interview, Daryl Williams, director of minority entrepreneurship programs at the Kauffman Foundation told Black Voices: "It is time for black people to understand that the investment in their community is not just the function of banks," Mr. Williams said. "Maybe faith-based organizations, professional organizations and individual investors are going to have to step up and provide alternative types of funding for businesses."
