How old is jolinda wade

But the addiction I was in was stronger than the words. On Saturday, Wade, 61, now a pastor, received an award for helping children and the underserved on the South Side during a benefit for St. Dwyane Wade asks students for input on his anti-violence program.

Wade said she heard God's voice in when she went to church one day, and that he told her to stop denying him and his power to change her. Within three days, she overcame her addiction from drugs and alcohol. She also turned herself back in to prison, after leaving a work-release program without permission. Since she got clean and changed her life, Wade has opened the Willie Mae Morris Empowerment Center for youth in the community, become the senior pastor of New Creation Binding and Loosing Ministries, International and recently released an anti-violence rap song called, "Raise My Child," that came out just before her niece, Nykea Aldridge, was killed in late August.

The recent tragedy of Aldridge being shot to death as she pushed her newborn in a stroller after registering her children for school, was a "hard hit" for the Wade family, but Wade said it won't keep her from the work she's undertaken. Dozens attend funeral for Nykea Aldridge. Diahann Sinclair, a hospital vice president, said Wade was chosen to be the first recipient of the late state Rep. Esther Golar "Heart of the Community" Award given because her life "mirrors a lot of our population" and that when the senior team met her in person, they knew immediately that she should receive the award.
