Matron of Honor
LaShana is my turn up Queen. LaShana and I met many years ago, while working at Ben Taub Hospital. LaShana appeared to be quiet and very mild, until you really get a chance to know her. LaShana is THE definition of a good time. Outside of those good times, she mastered the art of being a great friend. We've shared many laughs, long talks and several tears. It's a joy for her to be apart of such special day and create everlasting memories.

What's a girl without her Bestie? Jerlesa and I met our Sophomore year of high school and the rest is history. Jerlesa and I built an unmatchable bond and I am forever grateful. Going off to college and rooming with my best friend was the most exciting thing ever. We laughed, studied, partied, cried, all while continuing our journey through college. We've gone through life and watched each other grow into very successful women all while continuing to nurture our friendship. We've journeyed life together and I'm excited to have you as my Maid of Honor, and stand next to me as I enter this new phase of life.

Feisty Leo's! Over the years, Teclesha and I grew extremely close and have supported each other in more ways than anyone could ever imagine. Nursing school, graduate school, law school, you name it. We've been rocking! She is one of the most genuine, reliable people that I've ever met. Not only is Teclesha my "Sissy" she is also the God Mother of my little king, Mars. I definitely couldn't say "I do" without my pageant Queen boo.

Not one day goes by without me speaking to my business bestie. She and I met up for the first time at an award ceremony for our mentor and it sealed the deal. Jinaya is literally my soul sister. She has such a genuine soul and I couldn’t ask for a better friend. When I think my visions are off the rocker, she comes in with the confirmation... every single time. Jinaya started as a colleague and turned into a lifelong friend. We have manifested so much in life, I couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without my soul sister.

Tenecia blends beautifully with my family, as we all love to party and have a good time. Outside of the good times, Tenecia and I travel the roads of reality together. Through the good and the bad, we’re there for each other. I couldn’t marry my best friend without my big sister by my side.

My dog! The Wheelchair bandit! Hassan and I have been friends since Junior year in high school and the rest is history. Hassan is very loyal and an amazing friend; it's always a good time when we get together. He has always had my best interest and has always been open and voiced his genuine concerns to me. Hassan and I spent many years living and growing together. Hassan's drive was pure motivation! He never allowed his disability to stop him, he's very hardworking and independent and overall a very good person with a big heart. I definitely could't say "I Do" without my right hand.

Kitch, my big dog! I met Kitchen in Searcy, Arkansas, at Harding University. One of the most solid men I’ve met in life. One of our most memorable moments is on the field when we beat North Alabama. We finally beat them it was a pretty big deal. Kitchen is a straight forward standup guy. He’s a true New Yorker! It’s an honor to have him staff with my as I marry my queen.

Kennard and I met through a mutual friend in Arkansas. He was a very positive individual, full of life and grateful for all things. He’s literally a beast! He’s one of the bro’s! Very dependent and solid guy. Couldn’t say “I do” without my bro.

My boy Jay! We met in the late 90s, he was one of my first friends, but became my cousin. We’ve been down since yeh high and still rocking. There isn’t really one memorable moment, but we have many memories from back in the day. Jay is my brother from another mother. Very solid individual and I’m honored to have him stand with me on my big day.
