Yusef and Amanda joined a panel discussion to share tips and advice on how to advocate for your loved one. Just how hard is it going to the doctor and not knowing how to communicate your issues and get help, for some, it is very hard and we wanted to share tips to help make your trips to the doctor easier. Baby Naomi Received Critical Care at WakeMed Children’s Hospital after being sick for two weeks and other hospitals not being able to provide adequate care, frustrated and upset Yusef and I prayed, then the lord led us to Wake Med. Let's just say it was a lifesaving decision, as they were able to diagnose and treat her immediately. I was so happy with the new outcome that I wrote them a thank you letter commending doctors and staff an they featured it in their November 1, 2021 at WakeMed Health & Hospitals Children's/Family newsletter.

 This brunch had me smacking my lips and singing with every bite! Where do I began?! When I say the food was good, baby… it was good!!! This is the place to go for a lot of great options and bottomless drinks too. Soooo, I’m new to Florida and although I live between Orlando and Tampa I was invited to celebrate my girls birthday at Café Tu Tu Tango in Orlando. At first, I didn’t know what to expect but other than the hostess being a little bit unprofessional and the fact that they wouldn’t seat us until the entire party was there we were finally able to get a table around 2pm. But, we didn’t get a server at first so that meant wasted time because the buffet ended at 3! Message go early. Although we had to wait a while for the server to come over, the food and drinks and our server Kevin made up for it all! I recommend trying everything. The brunch is less than 25 bucks, and it’s bottomless which means you have an option to order as much as you want from more than a dozen appetizers and they will bring you everything that you ask for to your table for you to eat in small portions. The food was delicious and the bottomless drinks included mimosas or bloody Mary’s. Both will run you under 50 bucks. Well worth it! Let’s just say it takes two to tango and I will tango again with this place:) Scroll down to see my food recommendations, as well as, tips to make sure you and your friends have a great brunch in the city! Pro Tip: Make a reservation. They book fast and you may not get a chance to get a table if you don’t. If you have a group make sure that everyone shows up on time or they may delay you from getting a seat, they wouldn’t sit us until everyone showed up. If anyone at the table orders bottomless brunch than everyone at the table has to order bottomless brunch (so no I’ll Just get a side order and sneak eat off my friends plate please- ). They also have bottomless Bloody Mary’s and Mimosa’s but if you don’t feel like drinking that much ( for me it was a long drive) so I split a bottle of sangria instead with a friend. My food recommendations are the Southwest Caeser, Butter Chicken Tikka Masala, Shrimp & Grits, although it’s not southern like in Charleston, SC but good. I loved the Chocolate Waffle, they said the chicken and waffles good and I even tried the Cuban sandwich. I can’t believe I ate all that!!!! They also have pizzas and I wasn’t a fan of the brussels sprouts but feel free to try it all again it’s included in the bottomless brunch, have fun and please share if you like this post! Amanda makes a surprise announcement to viewers at WWAY-TV during the 6pm news.
Throughout New Hanover County, young women are often used by gang leaders in a variety of capacities including storing drugs, renting cars, carrying information to and from jails, and other, sometimes illegal, activities. Super Girls is a gang prevention program targeting at-risk youth by empowering them to make positive choices. Which is why the department started the Port City Super Girls Academy. The Port City Super Girls Academy is a four day retreat created for 50 girls 12 to 18 years of age. This on-site program will challenge female teens to explore new and innovative career paths, receive instruction on financial literacy, and violence prevention and intervention. An interactive curriculum will be offered along with extra-curricular activities to include, sports, health and fitness.  The North Carolina Azalea Festival is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is a locally-grown organization raising money and volunteerism. They have been around since 1948 and they provide several events that bring people from around the world.  Amanda had a chance to attend the awesome Azalea festival Celebrity reception as the Cape Fear Country Club in Wilmington Thursday morning.. More than a hudreds people attended the annual event which highlights local celebs and also gives people a chance to meet the Queen Azalea.  Amanda stopped by Williston Middle school to talk to the young girls there about making good choices and bullying. Many say they were excited to learn about her journey to become a news anchor and also get tips on how to combat bullying in schools. So excited to meet members of our local law enforcement teams at WWAY news studios. Our station provided free pizza courtesy of Papa Johns who partnered with us for the amazing appreciation event.
 Great event at the Wilmington convention center, where Miss American and Judge Anita Earls were the guest speakers.  WWAY has a great staff of women who work on-air and behind the scenes each and every night to bring our viewers the latest news. |
