Why not have a page that celebrates you? I know I do! 
Yours truly is the winner of a 2011 NABJ Salute to Excellence award for a story entitled: Watering the Food Desert. It’s about the scarcity of quality food in black neighborhoods and what many neighborhoods are doing to rectify the situation. The food desert has implications in all areas, including the fight against obesity. Check out my PDF page if you want to read the story.

Keep up the good work, Adrienne.
Adrienne: I was introduced to your blog by your mother. What an enjoyable read. Your commentary on the CCBA luncheon/fashion show brought back fond memories. We will need the younger spouses to continue the tradition; not only is NABBS raising scholarship money for worthy law students, it is the one show that features fashions that you can wear to work, social functions, etc… and see yourself wearing them. Considering the state of current fashion in the workplace, we will need this show for years to come. GCS
Your site is very interesting. Thanks
Ms. Samuels, my name is Charles Bryant. About five years ago you did a short piece on my father at my graduation at Eckerd College. To say the least, I cannot express how irrate I was at what transpired that day. Camera’s, media, a giant heep of questions from friends, professors that I personally did not want. To be fair, I now understand when any head of state blinks an eye, there must be some media response, not to mention the fact that the small city of St. Petersburg rarely see’s figure’s like my father. The last five years have been a giant learning experience for me in that I no longer associate with my father and my family is as distant as its ever been.
To make a long story short I was wondering if you would be willing to do another story/piece as a follow up. Trust me when I tell you some of things that have happened to me over the past few years would amaze you. I would let you in on some things about my father that no one knows and how it effected my family’s life. After reading some of your publications and posts I firmly believe in your writing skills and your insite as an intellectual. By no means do you have to do this, I have contacted other journalists about this but trying to find someone with an objective opinion these days is like trying to find a politician that isn’t crooked. I am almost certain that you would or could not have an opinion either way so I wanted to find someone that was neutral so to speak. I hope this message finds you happy and healthy. If you are willing, please let me know…
Charles Bryant
Charles,
I can’t believe you found me! Thank you so much for seeking me out. We should talk off-line.
