Saturday, March 21, 2009

LeToya Luckett visited McNair High School in Atlanta this week and spoke to the juniors and seniors about positive self-image and furthering their education after graduation.
The singer, who received a special invite by “Its Cool To Be Smart” to come out and speak, also gave the students a chance to ask her some questions.
In related news, LeToya’s new album, Lady Love will be in stores in May.

that’s good on her part. but “self-image” starts with the juniors and seniors. she can talk all she wants, but if those kids don’t want better, then they will just be living thru the motions. All I can say is, Letoya did her part!

It’s nice to see someone doing something positive with their celebrity, but it’s usually just right before an album to promote it, etc.

LeToya, what is your educational level? I’m not trying to degrade because I wish more celebrities would do what she’s doing as I have said in previous posts. When this article was written, the assumption was made that we would all be exicted because LeToya was present, and we are. Does she have the background to do this presentation? I hope so.

Positive? This makes me think of Positive for STD and a site for STD dating POZGROUP.COM. I hope she will never have a chance to become one member of that famous site.

That’s what I was wondering. How are you going to tell kids to continue with their education if you didn’t. Unless you’re trying to tell them “don’t be like me”. But other than that she does look cute as usual but nothing special. to the person above it does seem as if celebrities only want to do good for promotion. But I guess they gotta get it where they can.

I prefer it is a fake news as well as some magazines said she kept dating with a few rich business men on a cel ebrity and weal thy rom an ce s it e”ric h m atch making. C 0 M” in the past weeks. Good luck!

Happy to see she is doing this because I know it is hard some young adults to stay positive about their image when they see beautiful singers and actors every time they turn on the tv.

She is stunning beautiful, it is not strange why those men on the cel ebrity and weal thy men da tin g s it e— “rich match making. C 0 M.” are interested in posting her hot photos. Have you guys have ever seen these photos?

HA! She promotes having a positive self-image after having a nose AND boob job. Be honest LeToya…tell the kids to only be happy with what you were born with UNLESS you have the money to change it.
25.
What?
Saturday, March 21, 2009 /
DAMN!! There are some DUMB hating azz Mutha F*ckers on this site. LeToya’s Album doesn’t drop until MAY, she has been doing stuff like this even when she had nothing coming out. STFU! LeToya NEVER had a boob job, I can’t speak on her nose because I wasn’t in the Surgery room which I suspect the ones saying she had it done were..
Great Job Toya, she is VERY articulate which I’m sure the haters on this site aren’t. Y’all prolly FAT, VERY black with short chopped up hair.. Broke B*tches always hating, it really makes me sick to my stomach. Black folks are ALWAYS so negative.
Toya btw, does NOT look like no damn Michelle. Michelle looks like an old MONKEY, she seems nice but imo Michelle is not cute.

Yall are stupid as hell.
She is telling them to get an education because she didn’t, and she what happened 2 her, she got kicked out of DC, what if she ended up like LaTavia and didn’t ever get her career back.
She’s been talking to the kids alot telling them education comes first, which is positive, it’s nothing negative about it.

LMAO@ 24 WHAT. I totally agree with you…except for the michelle part. Don’t about michelle like that.
How much people who used drugs come back and tell others not to use drugs, how many people went to jail and used their experience to teach others. T.I did a crime and is using it to show youngers that is not the way to go. SO why the F toya cant tell kids to stay in school just becuz she didnt finish. WTF?

Alot of ignorant dumb stans on this site. I’m sorry but some people should never speak at all. LeToya was speaking based from her experience, that it is always better to get your education. Many are well aware what happened to her and Latavia in Destiny Child, so she is saying having an education is a very useful back up plan. I don’t how some folks don’t get that. Some of you are just plain DUMB.
BTW Toya looks cute and adorable. I love her fashion sense.

YOU PATETIC FOOLS!!!!! SOME OF YOU CLEARLY DIDN’T FINISH SCHOOL OR YOU WOULD HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO SUPPORT A CELEBRITY WHO ACTUALLY TAKES THE TIME TO TALK WITH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE EDUCATION!!! YOU IDIOTS ACT LIKE LETOYA DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND DID NOTHING MORE WITH HER LIFE, WHEN SHE’S AN ENTREPRENUER HERSELF AND HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN HER LIFE, SO WHO BETTER TO TALK TO THE YOUTH??? SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST A DISGRACE AND CLEARLY MISERABLE. GO AND DO SOMETHING MEANINFUL WITH YOUR OWN LIVES BEFORE YOU TRY AND TALK ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE…IDIOTS!!!

Crabs in the fucking barrell!! So what if she had a nose job? I lost 30 pounds, had braces, discovered Proactive and got contacts instead of glasses! Does that mean I am forever banned from talking about positive self image because I made these changes to my appearance???? SHEESH!!!!!

@#39 Was she talking about how you look or about education? *blank stare* I must have missed something. Speaking of education should I school you on how to spell PRACTOCE.
Ok here goes…P-R-A-C-T-I-C-E and what do u get PRACTICE on your spelling. Must of been the HATE that cause you to preach to someonelse. Maybe Toya should come visit your home and talk to you about EDUCATION.

Saturday, March 21, 2009 /
Um…Who are these people saying LeToya didn’t finish High School? As far as I know her and the rest of the original Destiny Child members all finished High School except they were home schooled instead of going to a standard High School because thier careers just had taken off and they all completed thier home school courses and graduated
and btw you still have to take the same standard testing in home school as they do in standard High Schools so it does count

U know that’s soooo funny people talk about have plastic surgery like it’s a crime! Why can’t someone change something about themselves that they don’t like? Just like if you grew up with a few outfits and when you got older, made a little money to dress better wouldn’t you buy better clothes. People are always saying be happy the way God made you-I feel like plastic surgery is like putting on make up-you just want the complete package!

#24, how in the world are you going to call people negative when you’re calling folks “very black with short chopped hair” and “b*tches” and Michelle “an old monkey” and “not cute.” You’re right — people on this site are rude sometimes, but are you any better? I think you can make your point without the foolishness and name calling.

LETOYA DO YOUR THING GIRL. FORGET WHAT THIS IGNORANT PPL ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND LAST TIME I CHECKED LETOYA FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL. ALONG WITH THE OTHER DC GIRLS IT WAS JUST HOME SCHOOL. AND EVEN IF SHE DID GET SURGEREY, THAT DOESN’T MEAN SHE HAS LOW SELF-ESTEEM OR SHE DOESN’T LOVE HER SELF ANY LESS. AND IT CERTAINLY DOESN’T MEAN THAT SHE CAN’T TALK TO KIDS ABOUT GETTTING AN EDUCATION. OR LETTING THEM KNOW THEIR SELF WORTH. SMDH.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!!!!

A nose job is a crime against your CREATOR. So he/she made a mistake that you in your ‘WISDOM” need to fix?
DUMB SELF HATERS!~
Love yourself the way you were made and make the MOST of YOUR life..that was the intent. your CREATOR didn’t send you here to WORSHIP beyonce you are just messing up everything.

Letoya looks good!!! & the 3 buzz singles ive heard from her album, Iam impressed!!She is doing her thing and has been for awile now.
Did anyone have any idea that LETOYA still gets royalty checks due to anything she touched with DESTINY CHILD!
That her Lady Boutique which is ran by her mother, profits are enormous!
& Has a hit on her hands with ” NOT Anymore” and the video is awesome!
HATERS have nothing else better to do.
Damn she promoting something positive and its about education. WTF?
Cant wait to hear your growth as an artist on your NEW album Letoya!
I will be buying 3 copies.
