The group, which included [Hazelle Rogers], State Rep. Yolley Roberson, Councilman Aster Knight, North Miami City Clerk Alix Desulme, attorney Marlon Hill, Hulbert James, Roxanne Valies, and Maria Kong, also attended a White House census briefing that focused on Question 8 and 9. James, chair of the South Florida census committee, was selected as one of three national co-chairs of the National Caribbean Community Census Committee.
"I plan on pursuing a double major, pre-med and writing," said [Frankie Telfort]. "Medicine is my career choice, but I also want to focus on my writing." "It is definitely my speed," he said. "I run a 4:3 (seconds) 40 (yard dash). It's my speed and my mind; I have a great knack for the game." "Basically, we do a lot of lateral drills to make sure the footwork is right," TeUort explained. "We work with truck tires for coordination. We push each other to make each other better."
