I give a 30 – 45
minute, highly motivating, hopefully hilarious, totally
G-rated account of How I Came to Be THE Sweet Potato
Queen and My Resulting Contributions to World Peace
(inspite of the fact that all I ever wanted in life
was to be a 5'2", red-headed, large-breasted,
tiny-footed singer and never got ANY of it). Afterwards,
I answer questions – and since I know pretty
much everything (except for Algebra) – this is
most helpful to the audience.
