From junkie to actress



When I first lived with Merrilyn, she was a junkie. I myself was nearly a wreck because of burglars, violence, cockroaches and the rats which only a wire fence prevented from biting us in the bed. So my admiration is great that Merrilyn could struggle herself out of the ghetto and become and actress. Today she often introduces my shows in universities and e-mails me about the latest developments in the black community.
