Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job. I'm working as a reporter covering Oakland and I host an arts segment on the radio where I get to interview amazing artists from around the Bay Area.

We can heal if we face the past and remember it so doesn't repeat again. 

Our Miss USA is all kinds of beautiful at the 4th of July parade in our nation's capitol. Have a good week!
