YEAH! Adilah! You're awesome! Best of luck! I know
you'll knock 'em dead!
I'm going to have to get tickets to your LA show.
I'm certain it's incredible and I believe some of my friends would
love to see it with me.
Hugs! (You really are amazing!)

I am just sooooooo proud of you. ;) I hope I can get
to one of these dates...wish one was in the NY/NJ area...:) Anyway, my
prayers are with you my sister as you most creatively do this most
important work. I've been around many champions in the world of
sports, and none are any great than yourself.

Adilah
Congratulations on your national tour! Our similarities are wonderful. I will be touring for Women in HIstory Month with about 60 shows for libraries, museums, civic clubs, universities, schools, corporations and government and I know what you are going through!
You do a better job of promotion than I. We are armies of ONE. I love the characters you have chosen and I, myself simply love the stories. I always tell my audiences that the facts of history don't jump off the page...it takes a dedicated interpreter to bring meaning to the present. I am taping a DVD called Sheroes of the West in studio here in Merced and hope to have it as an ancillary project when I do perform as well as place it into catalogues and museums about. IF we ever might be able to do something in tandem, I'd love it; t'would be a real monologue fest!! XX

Adilah,
Adilah...I made a promise
to read up on some of the POWERFUL WOMEN you portrayed....and how
beautifully done! Kudos to YOU!
Ruya had no knowledge of any....amazing how history is told depending on
where you come from. I knew of almost all of them, but felt ignorant that
I did not know all of them and who exactly they were and what role they
played in history.
Thank you for your
Brilliance, Talent and Your Gift of Enlightenment.

Hi Cousin!
I had a "light bulb" moment! One of my co-workers has a little cousin who came out to LA last weekend to met an agent
and he was showing me her picture on the website. I thought to myself, I wonder if Adilah has a website…I am sure she does and VIOLA….I found you!
I hope you are doing well! I think of you often but watch TV rarely and it made me very proud (who am I :-) to see your website and read about your accomplishments. All I can say is "WOW!! God is good!"
I know you stay in touch with Dad and every now and then he will call me and say "turn to Channel 2, Adilah's on" and I get so excited! I have tears in my eyes now just thinking about how you promoted yourself! So many take their dreams to the grave with them. I do not want to be one of those people, so I must get moving on what God has laid on my heart.
I just wanted to thank you for being an inspiration and I wanted to take time out to let you know. I will let you know how Janelle does….she is the cutest little thing and may have an opportunity to audition for "Everyone Loves Chris."
May God continue to bless you so that you may continue to inspire, encourage and give hope to others! Take care and hope to see you again soon!
Love you,
Yolanda

Dear Adilah:
I have to write to say that I really enjoyed your interview with Marla Gibbs. Your interview gave me great insight into how she came to be that I never got from all those celebrity interviews such as Entertainment Tonight, etc. I never realized how much of her own resources she actually poured into the community. You really cleared up for me why she gave up the Vision Theater.
Thanks.

Girl,
I always thought you were
thorough but this confirms all!! This is a website to die for!! (let me
take a step back and learn) :) You are beyond words!! I immensely enjoyed
reading and getting inspired by all you do and have to offer. Adilah, for
you, there's no where to go but UP!!! This is why you stay so healthy and
vibrant in my mind. I do love you for who you are and what you stand for
which as you stated is your article, A WOMAN OF INTEGRITY!!!! This
business changes, but over the last 14 years of knowing you, you have
remained steadfast in your beliefs only changing from experiences and
growing with the knowledge that's gained by living life to it's fullest. I
am and will always be a fan. Many continued blessings to you girl!!! I
only wonder what this industry would be like with more yous!!!
Love always
Deirdre
