Before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here, and it will be time for family gatherings and great meals.

1. Tell us about your family growing up and where you went to school: I feel like I am a Louisianian, however, I grew up in Florida, on Clearwater Beach. I am the middle child, sandwiched between two brothers.

Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Department: Swearing-in Ceremony and Welcome for Newly Hired Deputies and Corrections Officer

A mentally incapacitated individual can appoint a power of attorney...

If your named agent dies before you or is incapacitated, you want to have a back-up who can act.

The Parish of Caddo joins the entire Caddo Parish community in mourning the loss of former Caddo Commissioner, Commission Clerk and staff member Todd A. Hopkins.

1. Where did you grow up and tell us about your family: Even though I was born in King City, California, I grew up in Mira, a small town about 30 miles north of Shreveport. I am the third child born of four children. My dad served in the U.S. Army on active duty for 12 years before becoming the 1st Black Chief Engineer for KTAL in the late sixties. My mother worked as a Teacher’s Aide in Special Education for Caddo Parish Schools. Growing up with a strict military father, my siblings and I were taught the value of hard work and the importance of striving for perfection in all that we set out to accomplish. My dad’s famous words were, “If you’re not going to do it right, don’t do it at all.” Those words profoundly shaped the way I approach life, motivating me to bring my best self to everything I do.
