Among one of Jim Henson’s greatest quotes is, “My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.” While the current status of the world is up to debate, there is no doubt that Henson touched the lives of both children and adults through his work with puppets and entertainment as a whole. The Muppets is a show that continues to engage and attract people throughout the world while Sesame Street still puts out quality work that touches on topics most people would not even dare to
to be shown compassion and care; not just as a teacher but as a friend. It is between these two women that a heavily suggested romantic relationship developed.

As a single mother, she raised me in the West Indian community in Bronx, New York; Kingston, Jamaica; and finally Bergen County, New Jersey. She is strict and loving all in one.
