About Me
- Ju Ju
- I am 54 years young. A mother of two;one son and one daughter and grandmother of 4 grand-daughters. I am in a group of DIVAs that meet once a month. In May 2008 we decided to let our DIVAs in training come into our meeting where we discussed various topics. It was so positive that I decided to do this blog.

I think success should be based on each person desires in life. Having multiple degrees or having no degree, you can still be successful. It all depends on how you apply yourself.
Some people have multiple degrees but their success is based on the fact that their family is happy and they get to be there to see their children grow up.
While others base success on owning their own business. And others base success on being a Executive.
Success is in the eyes of the beholder.
I have multiple degrees and I am working on a license, but I think my success is because I have my family and my friends.
Someone you should know..Patricia Bath
Patricia Bath became the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical invention.
By Mary Bellis
Dr. Patricia Bath, an ophthalmologist from New York, but living in Los Angeles when she received her patent, became the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical invention. Patricia Bath's patent (no. 4,744,360), a method for removing cataract lenses, transformed eye surgery, using a laser device making the procedure more accurate.
Patricia Bath’s passionate dedication to the treatment and prevention of blindness led her to develop the Cataract Laserphaco Probe. The probe, patented in 1988, is designed to use the power of a laser to quickly and painlessly vaporize cataracts from patients’ eyes, replacing the more common method of using a grinding, drill-like device to remove the afflictions. With another invention, Bath was able to restore sight to people who had been blind for over 30 years. Patricia Bath also holds patents for her invention in Japan, Canada, and Europe.
Patricia Bath graduated from the Howard University School of Medicine in 1968 and completed specialty training in ophthalmology and corneal transplant at both New York University and Columbia University. In 1975, Bath became the first African-American woman surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center and the first woman to be on the faculty of the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute. She is the founder and first president of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. Patricia Bath was elected to Hunter College Hall of Fame in 1988 and elected as Howard University Pioneer in Academic Medicine in 1993.
