Former NFL player Chris Draft recently lost his wife, LaKeasha Draft(a former dancer of the NBA’s Hornets) a month after their wedding. Keasha passed away after battling lung cancer on December 27th, 2011. Check out Chris & Keasha’s wedding trailer inside…

With a wheel chair and oxygen tank in tow and surrounded by family & friends, Keasha Rutlege exchanged vows with her soul mate Chris Draft on November 27th, 2011 in Atlanta, GA. Watch their wedding trailer below. *Warning: Tears may flow*

This story was touching to me because even in her sickness, Chris made Keasha his wife. I think another reason I was also inspired by LaKeasha & Chris’ love is because I’m tying the knot myself this upcoming year. This shows what Love is truly about. It was nice to see Keasha enjoy herself, even though she was obviously tired, she didn’t allow cancer to ruin one of the best moments of her life, and that’s what makes it all beautiful.

So Tenacious sends our thoughts & prayers to Chris Draft, and all other loved ones of Keasha Draft. Below is a photo montage dedicated to the late Keasha..

Just in time for the holidays; Check out the music video for When Christmas Comes from Mariah Carey and John Legend.

Ludacris (gov’t name Chris Bridges) just launched an educational website called Karma’s World inspired by his young daughter, Karma, a 3rd grader who likes to sing & dance. 10 year old, Karma wanted to create an interactive website with music & fantasy. With his daughter’s idea, Ludacris got help from a very creative team and came up with an educational website with academic lessons for Karma and other children her age… And did I mention the music on the website is also by Lil Ms. Karma?

It is a site that encourages children like Karma to learn in an atmosphere of fun, offering academic lessons as well as ethical ones. It teaches the Golden Rule: how to treat others the way you would want to be treated. It teaches an understanding of “karma”: how doing good deeds can bring good into your life. It shows the importance of manners and the rewards of hard work. It reflects Chris’ belief that the habit of working joyously from the heart opens the door to children for a lifetime of meaningful success..

If you have young kids, head on over to Karma’s World & see what else it has to offer your child! I don’t have any children, but I like the fact that the site offers a fun way for the kiddies to learn through songs & games. I’ll definitely be passing this on to my God Daughter & Nieces, who love music, and are also in grade school.

Props to Ludacris on making his daughter an entrepreneur at age 10! *Some other folks in the industry should take notes*
