Atlanta, GA -- (SBWire) -- 08/19/2013 --Formally known in the media as the controversial and comedic brains and beauty bombshell who made history after launching a massive social media campaign to become ABC’s first African American Bachelorette, Dr. Misee Harris has her goals set way higher these days. http://thegrio.com/2013/02/26/is-america-ready-for-a-black-bachelorette/
Though her popularity has sparked a bevy of opportunities from charity event appearances, modeling gigs, judging various competitions, endorsement deals, and even television show appearances, Dr. Harris finds anything benefiting children the most satisfactory.
Harris, however, is not your ordinary doctor. An avid listener of Hip Hop music, Dr. Harris supports the artists who may spit lyrics that may be considered distasteful to some. Recently, Harris vented her frustrations regarding the lack of healthcare available to children from low-income areas by taking her thoughts to Twitter, “I feel some ‘Type of Way’ when children from my own community don’t have access to proper healthcare. I feel you #RichHomieBaby.” Rich Homie Quan is an Atlanta rapper and newest King of Hip Hop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Homie_Quan .
Dr. Harris hopes to join hands with such artists in an attempt to bridge the huge gap between children and access to basic healthcare needs.
