I Love Ms. Eaux. While attending Fremont Adult School in 1987, I had the opportunity to interview her for my school assignment–Most Influential Famous Person. Growing up in Nickerson Gardens and pregnant with my second child, I had to interview the person I found inspiring besides my mom and grandmother. The interview was warm and inspiring. It was Awesome! She changed my views on my ability to succeed. I went through some tough times. But I knew I was going to make it. I have a Masters Degree in Public Administration. Et, I work for County of Los Angeles.
Maxine Waters is just a strong, amazing, and loving woman that fights for equality for all. I hope to see her walking the beat at the Kingdom Day Parade!
