Is there anything you'd like to learn how to do? Yes, work on the computer and learn how to do all the new gadgets.

Do you support any charities? Yes. I am always giving back. I give to the Deaf and Blind school, the Symphony, and I do manis and pedis for the basketball team, for the Trojans. I also help a young lady trying out for AKA, a sorority; I helped her with her fees.

Do you have a favorite movie? The Lion King.

What would you do if you won a large lottery? I would pay all my bills off, buy a comfortable home to live in, and definitely give back. I would help the homeless, give to cancer research and try to help the system with foster kids, especially kids who have more than one sibling, so they can stay together. And I would try to help Haiti.

Is there anything you'd like to see Little Rock do differently? Help kids with values and morals and have activities for them. At the Dunbar school, they have a garden where they teach the kids how to plant things. Go back to hard work and the innocent days. And have more parks.
