AfroBella, It means so much to your Indiana readers and fans that you would come to our state. Especially a small (and sometimes struggling) town like South Bend. Indiana residents often (if not ALWAYS) have to travel to Chicago etc. to enjoy wonderful speakers and events. We are forgotten about in the concert and special event circuits. Thank you so much for speaking to our youngest sistas. As a social worker specializing in teen issues. I sincerely love that you took the time to do this.

I saw your presentation and thought you did a
great job. It could have been better, however, if theaudience had been more attentive to what you
were saying took it in and not felt the need to
give shout outs during the presentation and make
random comments as you were making a point.
Some may view it as enthusiasm or relating, but
it just felt disrespectful and would have made me
nervous.

Beauty is as beauty does…you did it and you are super beautiful. You did not seem that nervous and I think you have a bright future ahead of you as a public speaker. Writing, speaking, communicating: isn’t that what it is about? I’ll be watching you….from a senior who loves your blog.

That was wonderful. I think you may have found something else where you can excel and share with the world.

If you liked doing this as much as they liked you being there I know you will be able to do this more in 2010!

BTW I love that your father writes notes. it makes me love this blog even more.

Daddy, mom, Petal…thank you so much for always supporting me and commenting! It really did take me back to teaching at UM, and it made me miss teaching again! Who knows, maybe someday I’ll be a professor!

Everyone else, thank you so much for your love and support and kindness – I was nervous when I was on stage, and for some reason, nervous when I posted this! But your response has reassured me. I really enjoyed the Notre Dame experience, and now I feel prepared to do more public speaking in the future!
