Donald's Story
After graduating from West Brook, I went to Grambling State University, where I earned a B.A. degree in Mass Communication (with an emphasis in print journalism). I later worked at The Kansas City Star newspaper in Kansas City, Mo., and then the Arlington (Texas) Morning News, which was a publication published by The Belo Corp., which owns The Dallas Morning News. At both papers, I worked as a copy editor and columnist. I also worked as a reporter for The Dallas Weekly, an African-American weekly in South Dallas. Along the way, I played semipro football in Dallas for four years and did some substitute schoolteaching and a little free-lance writing.

ocate, the daily paper there. In addition to working at The Advocate, I co-hosted "The G Factor," which is a weekly gospel show on KQXL 106.5 FM in Baton Rouge. I served on the board of two nonprofit organizations while in Baton Rouge and I was an associate minister at a word of faith church in Baton Rouge. On March 3, 2008, I moved back home to Beaumont, where I've been ever since. I recently founded a nondenominational church, Kingdom Living Christian Center, here in Beaumont. I also do free-lance writing and editing. My columns appear locally in CUSH Magazine, here in Beaumont. My free-lance columns also appear in publications in Baton Rouge, Fort Worth-Arlington; Tulsa, Okla.; Houston; and in Chicago. I'm also the Sac supervisor at our alma mater, West Brook High. That's what I've been up to.
