Vanessa with her children

Vanessa Williams is a very inspiring individual. In the face of adversity, stemming from a bad choice she made in her younger years, she has managed to triumph and successfully scale the walls of movies, television and music. Those Penthouse pictures were lewd, rude and crude (I know because I have 2 copies of the issue) and for her to soar past the bad press that came out of that is just awe inspiring. Even if you don't like her, ya gotta love her for doing that. The very best to you always Ms. Williams. You're AWESOME and you ROCK to the fullest!
