Karina's Story

Life What's up everybody! I finally joined this thing....OK, here's the update: After graduation, I went to Howard University in Washington, D.C. with Aisha Williams and Krys Davidson. Do you all remember Frank? My high school love in Junior year? Well in my Junior year at Howard, Frank and I hooked up again (he was just out of the Marines -- and fine in his uniform). At the end of my senior year (actually the September following), I gave birth to our daughter, Jazmin who is now 10 (10 and a half, as she is adamant about that). Two (and a half) years later, we had our second child, a devilish little angel named Jay, who was born on Valentine's Day. During that time, I was offered record deals with Andre Harrel (while at Motown), Bad Boy Entertainment, and Violator Records. I declined them all because I didn't want to spend any time away from my babies. I took a regular 9 to 5 to be with my family. As for Frank, he's a Staff Producer for one of Def Jam's spin-off indie ...Expand for more
labels. Finally, I WAS the head of Compliance over at AIG on Water Street. As of my last update, I was looking for a change because honestly, I wanted out of Insurance. Been there and had done that for tooooo long. I was thinking of doing some creative work, and thought it was kinda late for a total career change. Well, I did it! I was laid off from AIG, and was out of work for two years. What a blessing in disguise! It was hard, y'all, and still continues to be. But, I'm in the process of staring a non-profit organization for young "sistas" coming up in the world - showing them that they have choices. It's going to be called D.I.V.A.S. It's still in the developmental stages, but I'm working on grants and all that. God willing, I'll be launching by the end of 2005, early 2006. Wish me luck! For all of you that came to our 2000 reunion, it was a blast seeing you. I hope to see you sooner. Maybe next time I'll sing....Much love, peace, and blessings to all of you.
