God, family, education, writing, publishing, community outreach, books, history, anything to do with the advancement of women, minorities, and the underprivileged. I don't take pleasure in making God laugh, but I know that's probably what HE does when I make plans.

Music
Smooth and sultry R and B, Soul, Gospel, and sometimes a little Jazz. Anita Baker is my favorite songstress. But I also like Kenny G, Patti, Whitney, Peabo, Luther, India Arie, J-i-l-l S-c-o-t-t, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Shania Twain, Marvin Sapp, Brian McKnight, Kenny Edmonds (BabyFace), Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Shari Addison & Crystal Aiken, and the list goes on . . . just give me some gospel, and everything's alright.
Movies
Coming To America, The Shawshank Redemption, An Affair to Remember, When Harry Met Sally, Love & Basketball, Pretty Woman, Fried Green Tomatoes, Steel Magnolias, Parenthood, Trading Places, The Five Heartbeats, Lean on Me, The Lion King, What's Love Got to Do With It, Finding Nemo . . . Blues Big Musical (smile), Waiting to Exhale, Why Did I Get Married? . . . and pretty much any old moving starring Carey Grant or any new one starring Julia Roberts & Angela Bassett. I just love romance and comedy. Life's to short to live without em'.

Books
The Bible and just about anything and everything by The Brontes, Toni Morrison, Terry McMillain, and Alice Walker. My favorite poets are Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Lucille Clifton and Sonia Sanchez.

Heroes
God, my grandparents, my husband, and my sons, my teachers and mentors, and simply "everyday people" who get up, do it, and continue on in spite of all the madness.
