HC FAMU: One valuable lesson that you’ve learned from the School of Journalism
& Graphic Communication.
AD: Discipline, my professor told me recently that so many people die with their talents buried because they never learned the importance of discipline.
HC FAMU: Who inspires you and why?
AD: My mother is an inspiration, as an educator, a daughter, a wife, a sister, and a friend. She has overcome so many obstacles yet she has always instilled faith in my siblings & me and provided an example of how a woman should carry herself.
HC FAMU: Finish the phrase, “You know you’re at FAMU when…”
AD: Every song has either a line dance or a stroll.
HC FAMU: Most used FAMU term.
AD: “Get them Votes,” a term me & my friends came with to poke fun at campus elections.
HC FAMU: Interests/Activities.
AD: Free styling (spoken word), filming and editing videos, TV news reporting, learning about my history, Mexican Food and Margaritas,
HC FAMU: How would you describe yourself?
AD: Misunderstood, at first I may come off to some as loud & obnoxious but that is just my personality I am really outgoing, bubbly & I love to make people laugh. I have a very big heart.
HC FAMU: What is your biggest accomplishment?
AD: My biggest accomplishment thus far is being accepted to Florida A&M University. I never thought that becoming a Rattler would be such a life changing experience. I’ve been offered so many opportunities that I don’t think I would’ve received at any other University.
HC FAMU: You’re a host on the Saturday Morning Show. What’s that like?
AD: I enjoy every minute of it. On the show we have such a huge platform to reach people all over the world. However it is a major responsibility being the producer, holding weekly meetings, choosing content for the show as well as scheduling special guest.
HC FAMU: Will you be pursuing radio broadcast after graduation?
AD: Most likely I wont, but it is always something I’m open to. Television News is my dream job upon graduation.
HC FAMU: Favorite song lyric.
AD: “If it cost to be the boss, well then I guess I gotta pay!” – Lil’ Wayne
