  • I have a very sweet connection with Vernee Watson. She’s been on every show that I used to watch on TV as a boy. We have an incredible conversation about acting, Black History Month, and we were just laughing laughing laughing.

    I always had premonitions at something would happen to the towers, but I too, had a reoccurring dream which ended up being four times I woke up the dream would continue. This whole story is actually really specific but a lot of signs and the last part of the dream I woke up it was time for me to get ready for work at that time my husband, I said something horrible is going to happen and he’s like what are you talking about? I said I had to stream I started telling him about it and it actually freaked him out. I said something is wrong something horrible is going to happen. I told him that I walked into our bathroom to get ready for work. I always listen to the radio, and I guess probably about 510 minutes I heard about a plane crashed into one of the towers and I started crying uncontrollably and I told my ex that something did happen
    That series of dreams changed my life, and with the occurrence of the trade centers, and what happened that day, and those dreams the whole night up through the morning
