Line Sister Focus: Kami

#29 - Savior, Harriet Tubman, Moses

Kami M. Smith

Line Name(s) and how you got them:  

There were some Big Sisters who wanted me and other Big Sisters, well, not so much.  And this was the case for some of us, Pyramids.  "If we accept Kami, you gotta let her, her and her on the line." Thus "Kami saved the line", "Savior", "Harriet Tubman" and "Moses" all those names are in the same vein. 

What's your favorite memory online?

My favorite memory is dressing in all white, exiting the towers in to a sea of curious spectators -eager to see who made the Delta line. As they watched, we sang (I believe we sang), "I See the Light" (replacing the word Sorors, with Pyramids). I can still easily recall feelings of high hopes, grand anticipation and pageantry.

Here's where you BRAG about yourself. 
I'm something like a celebrity, but I'm more like a superhero; they call me "Mama"!

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self?
Accept the internship with Coca Cola, in their Marketing Department. "What's one more semester of college? You"re already on the five year plan."

Write! Write! Write!

Make forgiveness (of others and self) your daily practice and make love your true religion.

What the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
Every woman should have a piece of lingerie she feels amazing in, the confidence to wear it and the actions to back it up.

Every Delta should have is Fortitude.Her fortitudinous shines in the boardroom, the showroom and the living room -she is the change agent. (Owing that Ruby Woo red lipstick by Mac ain't a bad idea either.)

Name one thing on your bucket list that you would like to complete during our 20th Anniversary year. Related to Delta or not.
I would like to be able to do a split again --that's my year end goal for 2015.   A lot of yoga and stretching --"oh, it hurts so good".

What line sister(s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process? 

Do over --spending more time with Tara and Margo. 

Does your line name still fit?  If not, what name would you give yourself today? 
I reckon so.  But, not in the manner that it was initially intended.

Line Sister Focus: Irlene

#28 - Lion Queen

Irlene Sweets

Line Name (s) and how you got them:  
Irlene Sweets, Lion Queen #28. How I got my line name HMMMMMMM it’s a long story, lol. Let’s just say at that time it fit and stayed, LOL.

What's your favorite memory online? 
My favorite memory on line was getting to know my 29 beautiful sisters especially my BFF Barbara. We transferred the same year to MBC, we were the oldest chic’s, I believe on line and we both are Gemini’s. LOVE my sister.

Here's where you BRAG about yourself. 
I currently work for the Commonwealth of PA as a licensing specialist inspecting drug and alcohol treatment facilities. I still don’t have any kids, but have 7 God kids and 2 nieces and they take up a lot of my time, LOL. I still love to read and my favorite author is James Patterson. Currently working on my thesis for my Masters and thinking about going back to school for another in Social Work. I am currently the recording secretary for the Harrisburg Alumnae Chapter and an adviser for the NuNu chapter at Shippensburg University. Living life to its fullest and trying to learn new things every day.

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self?
Knowing what I know now, what advice would I give my 1995 self?????? I will have to say go straight to grad school before starting your career. I took off for 10 years and at first it was hard trying to work full-time and go to school, but it got better.

What's the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
I think that every woman should have a solid foundation in their life and know who they are and their worth in the world. I believe that every Delta Woman should have an understanding of where we came from and how we evolved from 22 women on Howard’s campus to thousands around the world and appreciate all that we do in the world.

Name one thing on your bucket-list that you will complete during our 20th Anniversary year? Related to Delta or not. 
At this present time the things on my bucket-list will not be completed within our 20th anniversary year.

What line sister(s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process? 
I wish I would have gotten to know Donetha Ball better she was a very interesting person but I felt she never really opened up to us on line or off.

Does your line name still fit?  If not, what name would you give yourself today? 
Does my line name still fit, lol. Yes, Yes and Yes something that I am trying to work on.

Line Sister Focus: Darcova

#27 - I.S.I.S, Goldie and Forrest Gump

DARCOVA MATRICE KING TRIPLETT

Line Name (s) and how you got them:  
I am Mrs. Dr. Darcova Matrice King Triplett. My line number is 27 and while they called me Goldie and Forrest Gump, my favorite line name is I.S.I.S. They called me Goldie because I totally rocked my open-face gold tooth. They called me Forrest Gump because they loved my southern drawl. And from my understanding, somebody somewhere somehow thought that I kinda carried an ambiance of arrogance and deemed me I.S.I.S.- the acronym for I Said I’m the Shit.
  
What's your favorite memory online? 
My favorite memory of being on line was the actual delivery of the announcement that I was on line. Peculiar as it may seem and completely baffling to me (at the time), I first got word that I made the line from……. Todd!   

Here's where you BRAG about yourself. 
The most interesting thing about me is not that I’ve been married to my College Sweetheart for 14 years and we have 3 Adorable KandyGirls. It is not that I’ve been in the field of education for 18 years as a teacher, principal and college professor. While it’s good to know that I’ve published 4 books and a magazine, I edit manuscripts and I’ve lived in 3 states as well as Europe, neither of those equate to the most interesting thing about me. I’m a certified Zumba Instructor, I write Poetry, make jewelry, host Painting Parties and my Passion is Painting but nope, that ain’t it. My work with the STRUT Movement and with the Brains and Beauty Mentoring Program is empowering, but the most interesting?... NAH! Although some would say the most interesting thing about me is that I sleep in blinks, I disagree. In my opinion, the most interesting thing about Darcova is that I embrace the notion of Evolution and I look forward to my Constant Change- to opportunities that allow me to get to know me More. 

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self?
I would say: Self! Get the Range Rover Now!

What's the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
Every woman should have the conviction to Detach and Flyyy. Every Delta Woman should have enough sense to know that wearing the Letters don’t make her better than the next… it simply distinguishes her from the rest.

Name one thing on your bucket-list that you will complete during our 20th Anniversary year? Related to Delta or not.  
During our 20th Anniversary year, I will love myself to health by completing (at least) one 5k per month.

What line sister(s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process?
I believe that our process was strategic, divine, served its purpose and perfect- as is. With that, I appreciate the interactions with all y’all that continue to show up. 

Does your line name still fit?  If not, what name would you give yourself today? 
To be quite honest, naming me I.S.I.S. in 1995 was rather premature, however, Prophetic at its best for the longer I live the more apparent it becomes to me that it ain’t arrogance when it’s the truth. #WinkingWavingPointingSmilingAndBlowingKisses   

Line Sister Focus: Chantelle

#26 - Mother, Hocus-Pocus

CHANTELLE DIONE JONES

Line Name (s) and how you got them: 
After my interview, the big sisters thought I reminded them of someone's aunt, grandmother or even MOTHER! (☺️Go Figure!!) The other name, HOCUS POCUS, came about because at 5:25pm on the day our $530 was due,I didn't have the funds in hand. So Omar said, well maybe next time! But at 5:29pm, I was in the hallway begging and pleading with funds in hand...Andrea and Alijah named me Hocus-Pocus!!

What's your favorite memory online? 
I have lots of fond memories but a few stand out...

1. reading Tamara's lips to remember the words to, I Will Be True! 
2. the night we "nailed" the greeting on the tennis court!! Still get chills thinking about it! "WE DID THAT!!" 
3. how we "locked up" going across the bridge to the yard with "Teta" eating FIRE!! Man!! I could cry right now thinking about it!!

Here's where you BRAG about yourself. 
My chosen career path would either intrigue some and scare others; you can call me, "Lady Undertaker" or "Mortician DIVA." Caring for the dead and having passion towards the bereaved has been my passion for the past 17years.  I am 12 months away from becoming a fully licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. I am also to become licensed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I will relocate in November, as the manager with Hall Davis and Son Funeral Home. I was called to SERVE!
 

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self?
There is so much to say, but for sake of time...

1. dont be blinded by the "illusion" of loving someone who doesn't love you and losing sight of WHO YOU ARE! 
2. while caring for others, don't forget to take better care of "self" 
3. lastly, don't believe the student loans refund HYPE!! Give back EVERY DIME that you DO NOT NEED!!! or ELSE it will HUNT YOU!!

What's the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
Every woman should have a SOLID relationship with her SELF!  Know WHO YOU ARE, center your mind, body and spirit so that it will be hard for others to DEFINE YOU!
Every DELTA should have a CHAPTER HOME and Sisters she can be transparent and REAL with.

Name one thing on your bucket-list that you will complete during our 20th Anniversary year? Related to Delta or not.  
My bucket runneth over!!! There is so much my heart desires that I choose to take every moment as it comes with gratitude!! I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now!! It is what it is!


What line sister(s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process?
I am enjoying this opportunity to see the uniqueness and beauty in each of you. But I would have liked to spend more time with...

• Front: Tiffany Dillard, she could have helped me become more financially stable! When you know better, you do better.
• Middle: Keisha Delaney and Candi 
• Back: Donetha Ball of course!!

Does your line name still fit?  If not, what name would you give yourself today? 
Man! Does it??!! Although I am NOT a MOTHER....it's just my nature! As far as HOCUS-POCUS? Let's just say, my life's journey has NEVER been a DULL MOMENT...things just keep appearing and reappearing!

Line Sister Focus: Tiffany

#25 - Beetle Juice

Tiffany Suzette Nelson Reid

Line Name (s) and how you got them:
I can’t remember who gave me my line name but, I remember being told that my head was sooooooo small, I think we will call you “Beetle Juice

What's your favorite memory online?
My favorite memory online would be when we had to be at Adenika’s home by a certain time and a few of my LS’s were in the car with me and I was driving so fast trying to avoid being late that I lost my hub cap on my car and recalled being more afraid of being late than having to explain to my father that I lost the hub cap on the car. #greattimes

Here's where you BRAG about yourself. 
I am the wife of a wonderful man of 5 years and counting Larenzo DeWayne Reid. Mother of 3 wonderful children Sydney Reid (18), Symone Reid (15), and Lincoln Reid (14). I am the COO of Tiffany’s Popcorn Café (Lithonia, GA) which my husband and I created together. I think out of all the things I have done in my life the creation of Tiffany’s Popcorn Café’ is definitely the most out of the box thing I have had the honor of creating and watching grow. Opening out first franchise in Portland, Maine is definitely an experience I am forever grateful that I was a part of and had the honor to see it grow from an idea to a reality. I’m an educator of 16 plus years. I fit in just about any atmosphere because I will be me and people are attracted to my contagious laughter.  

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self? 
I would tell my 1995 self to pray often and live life daily.

What's the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
Every woman should have a person whose happiness she can put above her own.  Every Delta women should have a heart to serve.

Name one thing on your bucket-list that you will complete during our 20th Anniversary year? Related to Delta or not.  
One thing on my bucket list that I will complete is taking a glass blowing art class.

What line sister(s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process?
I wish I had gotten to know Barbara Meyers better during our process.

Does your line name still fit?  If not, what name would you give yourself today?
Well, my head is still small, so I guess my given line name still fits.

I was the 2nd youngest on line (IHOP is 1 month younger than me) and also was pledging D.O. at the same time. Have no idea how that really worked, but it did. Guess you do a lot of insane things at age 19! LOL. I also was a Smart A** which wasn't always the best. LOL
