Ashaki Reed:  

Life Hi. I am 30 years old and the single mother of 2 boys, ages 3 and 4 years old. My oldest son's name is Khalil Nakeem Johnson. My youngest son's name is Khalijawon Nigere Johnson. My oldest son's birthday is June 9, 1997. My youngest son's birthday is July 7, 1998. I currently am living back at home in my old neighborhood where I grew up at and went to school in the Kenwood-Oakwood neighborhood which is near by Hyde Park on the 4700 Block of South Langley Avenue. My sons and I live with one of my older twin cousins and her 2 children. We also live in the same apartment building as the rest of my immediate family (The Franklin's and Reed's).

I worked in the Credit Card Division - NOVUS, Services, Inc., which is now called Discover Financial Services. After working there for just about 3 years, I left there to stay at home with my oldest son and then my youngest son, as I "soon" became pregnant 3-4 months after having had my first child. Soon before my youngest son was all of 2 months old I went back to work haworking at various temp agencies and then finally getting a full time job with a bank. I was there 1 month shy of 1 year and due to personal reasons decided to leave. I left there to work where I am now. I currently work for KPMG LLP,a Tax, Audit and Consulting Firm like Arthur Andersen. I have been with the Firm 1 year and 6 months. I am currently a member of Salem Baptist Church of Chicago, where Rev. James T. Meek...Expand for more
