On May 17th, 1964 I was born in Oakland Ca. When I was born I was born a twin.
I have a twin brother who came out before me. The doctor didn't know my mother was having twins. The nurse delivered me a half hour later. That is why I have Cerebral Palsy.

I went to a school for disabled children when I was young. The name of the school is called Charles A. Whitton school. I graduated Whitton school and then I went to Skyline High school. I graduated from High School in 1985.

In 1990 I had my first child. There were only a few family members who thought I should become a mother because they felt it would be too hard for me to take care of my baby.

In 1992 I was going to have my second child when my son's father, Donell and I were married. My son Donell Jr. is now 17 and he will be a senior in High School. My son Dominique is 15 and is going to be a junior in High School. I am so proud of them.

Don't let anyone tell you that because of your disability you cannot be a good parent. I learned to be a good parent just like every other young mother does.
