When did you discover your calling?

I was in line at the bar at Scandals and heard Sister Ghana Maria behind me say “Well hello boys!” I turned around and was instantly enthralled. I knew this was something I needed to do. It took me a few years to get here, but it was worth the wait.

I am the first born daughter of Sister Dixie Rupt

 

Why did you join?
