Book Description
Walk into Happy Joe's in Bettendorf, Iowa, for their lunch buffet, and chances are good that you might find me there, sitting down at my favorite round table, enjoying a slice of the taco pizza I created and made famous. I will sit there for hours, talking to customers, telling jokes, and waiting for children to come by. Any child passing me will be rewarded with a wooden nickel, good for a scoop of ice cream or bowl of frozen 'Joegurt, ' and that child will walk away standing a little taller, a little more confident in himself, and know, without a doubt, that they are a pretty special kid. Because Happy Joe said so. I am not only living proof of the American dream but proof that the American dream can become a reality for any one of us. This is my story. And yours. Happy Joe loves people, and it shows. He loves to have a good time and make people laugh, and that's just what his book does. You're sure to love these feel-good stories about one hard-working, good-natured man and his endeavors in business and in the business of making people happy.

T.O.C. performed at SUNY of Albany, The Albany Boys/Girls Club, The Veterans Hospital, Washington Park, and Wheels Plus Roller Rink. They also danced in a benefit show at The Palace Theater to raise money for the Drakeland Daycare Center. When the group disbanded, Jillina along with another female crew member decided get up off the floor and on the mic and formed the Take Out 2 M.C.s. At that time she performed under the moniker “M.C. Chilly Jill”. They took part in various functions around the Capital District such as The Black Arts and Cultural Festival in Albany, NY, The Albany Boys and Girls Club, Washington Park Summer Jam, YWCA Black History Month Program and Wheels Plus Roller Rink rap contest taking 2nd place title.

For a number of years, Jillina (J-Bax) was in and out of various studios recording demos trying to take her music from the block party to a bigger arena, but her focused shifted when she became a mother.

Book Description
Sometimes, we go through these awkward and challenging paths that we make uncomfortable decision within by not putting God at the head of choice. As for Jordan and Karen they came to succumb to the obstacles that continued to circulate them and to find a dynamic that would bring them closer and in unity. For instance, as people, sometimes we find it hard not to lean into our own understanding and oftentimes do away with our own pride. Fortunately if we were to open our hearts as well as our minds. Only then would we start to see the greatness of God. However, that doesn’t mean we’ll escape life’s trials just because we believe in faith. Come to think about it, if we just put our trust in God wouldn’t we all be saved through his wonderful grace? Thank you for reading!
