Meet the lovely Adina Townsend, a six-foot-tall, curvy and bodacious black woman living in the City of Biloxi, Mississippi. This feisty dame was born and raised in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, and educated at Spelman College and Savannah State University. Adina Townsend recently moved to the town of Biloxi, where the graduation rate for black male students isn't what it should be. This fearless black woman from the Deep South isn't afraid of a challenge and as a teacher, she set out to get the brothers on the right track.
At Biloxi Community College, there is a program where minority students who didn't get their high school diploma could earn their GED as adults and be better prepared to continue with their higher education or enter the workforce. A lot of colleges and universities in the state of Mississippi need black female instructors but Adina Townsend felt that her skills would be better used by minority students in need. The lovely, brilliant lady set up shop at BCC and began doing her thing.
Cesar Mathieu is a twenty-year-old black man originally from the island of Haiti. When Cesar's parents, Elias and Josephine Mathieu left their ancestral home of Jacmel in the Republic of Haiti for the USA, they came for a better life. While Cesar's parents are hard working, the brother doesn't seem to have much focus in this life, other than his dream of being a musician. Cesar dropped out of high school and got a dead end job as a shelf stocker at a local grocery store, and he does nothing but chase females all day whenever he's not working.
"Cesar, if you don't get your GED and at least try to get into college, I'm putting you on the street," said his irate father Elias. The tall, dark-skinned and silver-haired Haitian patriarch looked at his wayward son and put his foot down, as they say. Cesar sighed, but knew that arguing with his old man wouldn't get anywhere. Haitian men over the age of fifty are more hard headed than Mount Etna, and that is saying something. Cesar could only acquiesce to the old man's wishes, even as he began plotting a way out of his predicament.
"Alright, Papa, I will," Cesar replied, playing the role of the dutiful Haitian son, and Elias nodded. The old Haitian man would have good news to share with his wife when Josephine Mathieu finally came home from the nursing home where she works. Cesar excused himself from the family dining room and went to the basement, wondering what got into his old man. Elias Mathieu works as a mechanic and owns his own shop but Cesar doesn't like the idea of fixing cars, only driving them. Someone had to motivate the young Haitian guy, for his own damn good.
Cesar's parents drove him to Biloxi Community College on that fine day in late august, and watched him as he registered for the GED program. He would take the courses and then get the credits he needed to get his GED. Once Cesar had his GED, he would be a shoo-in for enrollment as a real college student at Biloxi Community College and finally make his parents proud. Haitians who moved to the U.S. and Canada encourage their sons and daughters to reach for the stars. Cesar has always lacked ambition but the brother just needed a kick in the ass...
When September came, Cesar found himself in class for the first time in ages. The young Haitian couldn't believe the shit his uptight parents talked him into doing. Cesar never liked school. He's always been good with music, and thought about starting his own band but those plans fell through. Cesar walked around the Biloxi Community College campus and found the place alright. There were thousands of students of all hues, and almost sixty percent of them appeared to be lovely young women. Cesar was going to have fun with those college babes for sure.
