No. 1 · Slick Selebrity

God is good, cause if my momma would have been on the list when I was in high school. I would have ruined my life.

This is what would have happened…the year is 97, I’m riding around in my momma's boxy-shaped Lexus, Tommy Hilfiger from head to toe, s-curved fresh, screaming out the window…"I did not want to be in yall punk ass uppity-puppetry Jack and Jill no muthaf'in way, my momma's tax brackets just pooted on yours.” With a copy of this edition stapled to my new jansport.

Thanks! I had never heard of Ursula Burns, and since she's #2 at Xerox, I should have known who she was. Very good information! Good to know.
