YM Bonding


Young Money members Drake and Lil Chuckee at an event.
I haven't heard Lil Chuckee rap.
But he's the only teen in Young Money so I praise that. lol
There are a bunch of 20-year-olds, Lil Wayne, Gudda Gudda, Tyga, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Mack Maine is probably in his 30s. ...
...Then there's Lil Chuckee - he's 14.
I wonder what goes on in those tour buses. Hmm lol.

ABC "Teen Perspective" News - January 2010



In the video above, you can watch me (Mikella) anchor ABC's Teen Perspective News. This is the January 2010 show.
I'm a teen reporter for WMAR-ABC 2 News in Maryland. I cover a lot of different local events for ABC including stories on teen unemployment rates, teen volunteers, teen musicians, teen safety and the legendary annual high school football traditions (Poly vs. City and the Turkey Bowl).

In this newscast, we focused on Haiti: the hard facts, and the relief effort going on worldwide and throughout many high schools in Maryland.
My story is on Jack & Jill: An African-American mother's organization that brings children ages 2-19 together. They worked this winter to organize and volunteer at a Hats, Mittens, and Gloves drive in downtown Baltimore for people who are less fortunate.

Look out for more episodes of Teen Perspective news right here on my blog. I'll be adding more episodes.
My co-anchor Jenny, and I had a really good time. She's fun to work with and we both worked really hard.

YM Members at Dunk Contest


Drake and Nicki Minaj, both members of Young Money, chill at the NBA Slam Dunk contest.
Nicki Minaj looks cute and as always, has her Harajuku Barbie look going.
Drake looks nice also.
They're not a couple, they're members of the Young Money family -- so no big Twitter headlines making up rumors haha.
I know it's pretty late right now, but in Dallas everybody's probably just heading out to the clubs now.
Nicki Minaj is heading to Club Flow right now.
I'm sure Drake is on his way there as well to chill with Lebron James and other wonderful people of that sort. hahaha
I'll keep these photos coming.
btw...Happy Valentine's Day!

Trey Songz & Drake -- The Duo


This is the music video to "Wonder Woman" by Trey Songz.
Drake has a cameo in this video. Check for him at about 0:55 in the video.
He plays Trey's friend in the clothing store and outside waiting by the car.
This is back when he was a little bit younger, and when Trey Songz hadn't cut his hair yet.

This is a little bit of a throwback, but it's pretty cool.

Assistant Coach Drake




Drake was one of the Assistant Coaches in the 2010 NBA All Star Celebrity Game in Dallas, TX.
He was pretty quiet during the game, giving high fives and staying chill.

These are a couple courtside pictures of him and what was going on.

Drake's Sprite Commercial

Drake's Sprite "Spark" Commercial from nation on Vimeo.

So, enjoy this 30 second version of the Drake Sprite Commercial because it's one of the funniest things I've seen.
I guess the real reason I like it is because it reminds me of the Best I Ever Had video where Drake is yelling "YOU TAKE THAT D! TAKE THAT D!" and it's sarcastic, innuendo, double-meaning, that kinda funny. This is pretty serious, so I couldn't help but laugh. =)
You can see the OVO crew chillin' in it. It's intense...
*All to the beat of Forever*
40's like what's up Drake why aren't you feelin' the beat.
Drake's like dag man, I just need some Sprite haha.
That's the basic feel of it. It's cool, good job Drake lol.
ROBODRAKE!!!!!

Ballroom Dancing


I got to learn how to ballroom dance.
We covered Cha Cha, Tango, Swing, Hustle, and Waltz all in a 4-day week.
Prettttttty good. At the end we had a showcase in the hallways of our school.

Throwback to the Summer


An old pic of me and Tyler Nelson from MTV's "Take the Stage".
I got to meet him in New York back in July while I was there for an NAACP convention.
He was busy dancing and speaking at the award show, but he used to compete as a dancer in the African American Cultural Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO). In 2009, ACT-SO was in NY, 2008 it was in Orlando, and this year it will be in Missouri City. Can't wait!!!!

Drake Sprite Commercial


This is soooo serious. ROBODRAKEEEEE
Look out for this during the NBA All Star Games...maybe we'll see more Drake commercials during the Superbowl.
Either way, Sprite is Drake's newest sponsor!

Gilman beats Park 44-41



Park Boys' Fresh-Soph basketball team played a good game today against Gilman. I did the scorebook and recorded all the fouls and points. Park hit a lot of 3 pointers, but in the end Gilman won with a 3 point lead. Gilman used all of their time outs and Park used the majority of ours. Good teamwork Park, better luck next time. Love you guys!!!
