Holy Press Coverage, Batman!

I was a woman on a mission. I had two hours of sleep but I was armed with a cup of Earl Grey, video footage and the knowledge that I had exactly 24 hours to get the word out before my story was no longer newsworthy.

My friend and colleague, Rev. Lawrence Ragland had given a speech I wrote in the D.C. area on Sunday as part of the Inaugural Festivities to an audience of 2,000..not too shabby for a minister from Paris, Tenn.

I managed to have a new friend edit the video, write the press releases and order 50 copies of the video for the reverend.

On top of that, I went to class, got my homework done, managed to have cocktails with a friend and dinner with the boyfriend.

See my speech on YouTube!
