TalkingwithTami:  Tell us how you felt the day you won Ms.Black Ga USA in 06?

Totally shocked!  When entering a pageant, you always wish for the best, but somewhere in the back of your mind you think that the title will go to someone else.  So, when I received the title, I was extremely happy and in total shock!!!  

TalkingWithTami: As Ms.Black Ga USA winner, what was your platform and why was it important to you?

My platform was autism awareness.  My 10 year old son, Jared has autism, and I felt that if I were to win the title, I would be able to create an awareness especially in the African American community of this growing epidemic.  Several years ago, the statistics were 1 out of 1000 children were diagnosed  with   autism, when I competed in the pageant in 2006, the statistics were 1 out of 666 children were diagnosed with autism.  Today, the number is 1 out of 150 children diagnosed.  It is vital that everyone is informed about autism so that early prevention may be put in place.

Besides being a full-time mother,  I am currently, working on my beauty talk show and beauty blog .  I am also a freelance  make-up artist.
