Actress Vanessa Williams in a Haitian event?
Do you enjoy "Soul Food"? I am speaking of the Showtime family series starring Vanessa Williams, who plays the very sensible and solid sister, Maxine.
Perpahs you remember Vanessa Williams as Keisha in New Jack City
She has been nominated for three NAACP Image Awards for playing Maxine in soul food.
She was also a special guest at the 2002 Haitian Music Awards
Samyr Laine Came Up Short for Haiti at the 2012 Olympics
Haitian athlete Samyr Laine did not win any medal competing for Haiti at the Olympics in London but he surely kept Haiti in the news.
I was hoping so much for Samyr to win in the Olympics. Haiti needs a Medal. Haiti hasn't won an Olympic medal since Silvio Cator took a silver in the long jump in 1928.
Samyr competed for triple jump. He gave his best. Unfortunately, even his record jump of 17.39 would not have won him a medal for Haiti.
