This website is dedicated to the Girl of My Dreams, my wife, Trula Flanagan. We are high school sweethearts who have been married over 57 years! And she's still a Hottie!
Not only is she my favorite wife, she is also mother of our two gifted daughters and grandmother to our six exceptional blood grandsons plus three outstanding surrogate grandsons!
1967 Trula became the first woman of color in Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc
1970 Trula debuts (pictured above) as Mary Kay's first African American Independent Sales Director and goes on to become the company's first African American Senior Sales Director and first Woman of Color in the Company's National Top Ten Queen's Court of Recruiting in 1970.
A rewarding and lucrative life-changing career spanning five decades
Trula achieved her Mary Kay dream of working from a lovely home, maintaining a happy marriage and raising her two young daughters in a positive environment that would prepare them to live successful and prosperous lives.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
About the author
Detroit T. Flanagan Jr. was raised in the Watts community of Los Angeles, CA. He was actively involved in encouraging and inspiring young people for over 30 years through his involvement in the Watts Summer Games, the Wilshire Rotary Club, the Inglewood Chamber of Commerce, Project Gangs, Loyola Marymount Alumni Board (where he became university's first African American Alumni Board President in 1974) and other organizations. He is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University with a major in mathematics and a minor in philosophy. Detroit is a former Air Force Captain and a Vietnam Veteran.
He began writing poetry to his high school sweetheart, Trula, who later became his wife. I guess the poetry was pretty good. I'm not saying it was that good, but I'm not saying it wasn't that good. You be the judge!
