Wheatgrass cleanses the body. The many detergent factors of wheatgrass juice will drain the lymph system, which carries away many toxins from body cells.

JJK To Appear On BET's Mo'Nique Show

Last month I traveled to Altanta with Jackie Joyner- Kersee for the Vision to Visionaries: Women Empowered, A Legacy of Change Event. January 28, 2010, JJK along with Ruby Dee, Jasmine Guy, Morgan Pierce, and Sonia Sanchez participated in an intimate and engaging conversation before an invited audience at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Produced by the National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP), the panel's discussion was streamed live via the NVLP website http://www.visoionaryproject.org/.

The morning of the event the panelist did a pre-recorded taping on The Mo'Nique Show. During the show, Mo'Nique had decided to challenge JJK to a little race, live in the studio. When Mo'Nique threw out the challenge, JJK she just smiled thinking it was a joke. When Mo'Nique stood up and kicked her high heels off, JJK realized it was Showtime! I won’t tell you how this one ends but the show will air Monday February 22nd, 2010 at 10:00 CST and at 11:00 EST on the BET Network. If you can, WATCH IT!
