Felicia Watkins Profile

Felicia Watkins

Tell us about your family. I have two sons 15 and 14 who drive me crazy. Wallace Watkins is 15 and Quintarious Watkins is 14. And I am engaged to Paul Bailey.

How did you get the nickname Fefe? My nieces and nephews thought of it. I have 63 nieces and nephews. I have 23 siblings.

Is there anything you'd like to learn how to do? My new hobby for this summer is I am going to learn how to can food. And I'm going to learn how to knit. Those are my two goals.

Is there anything you'd like to change about yourself? No, I love me.

What would you do if you won a large lottery? First of all I'd pay people to hide me, she said with a laugh. On a more serious note, I would actually want to boost Ebony B. Free, a non-profit that teaches women how to escape abuse.

What do you like to read? Right now, I am reading Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power.

What is your favorite Little Rock restaurant? Copeland's.

Favorite food? Fish.

Is there anything you would not eat? Armadillo. That's the first thing that popped in my mind. They freak me out.

What is the strangest thing in your fridge? Homemade experimental facial remedies. My kids never know what it is. What is this? Don't eat it!

If you could have a dream dinner party and invite any three people, who would you choose? Dwyane Wade, Oprah, and Wayne Newton to keep my mama happy.

Wayne Newton? That's like the only person my mom (Mary Mosson of Pine Bluff) has ever had a crush on. I asked her what she'd do if she won a lottery, and she said I'd buy me a house right next to Wayne Newton.

Do you have any pets? I have a dog, Missy, I was forced to have, but now I would not get rid of her, because I love her. You just talk to her like a little person. She understands.

What do you watch on the tube? I do not watch TV - at all.

What do you do in your spare time? I fish, and I read a lot.

Do you support any charities? We are hoping to launch the Ebony B. Free program by the end of the year. My younger sister, Ebony, was 20 and in an abusive relationship. He shot her five times. The program was named after her and gives women information they need to have the courage to walk away or sneak away. To find a way to be free.
