EARLY LIFE

Micelle Crawford Sapenter was born Michelle Danette Crawford in the spring of 1957. Born into the union of Anne Louise (Anderson) and Erby Andrew Crawford, her father worked as a professor of physics during the 50's in Jacksonville, Florida shortly following his stent in the Korean war and before his return to Texas. Through the 60's, Micelle's mother worked as an elementary school English teacher in the Corpus Christi and San Antonio Independent school districts from the early 60's through the mid 1980s when she retired from the Texas public school system.

In 1971, Micelle's father died of cancer, leaving she and her 5 siblings to be raised by their mother. The life after their father's passing was not uncomplicated, however, Michelle recalls her mother as being a hard worker, intelligent and well educated Christian woman who was the decendant of John Charles and Beulah Lee Daniels, a former Buffalo Soldier turned preacher in 1910-her grandmother, a Jewish American, was a faithful housewife who worked alongside her pastor husband in the first Baptist church in Corpus Christi's black community, St John Baptist Church. St John Baptist Church remains a pillar of the black community in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Given the very Christian upbringing by her parents Mas Elite (Daniels) and Levi Anderson, Michelle's mother was certain to teach her children the finest ethics, social etiquettes and reverence to God. Those teachings, along with the rich-cultural experiences learned from her relation to the Jewish lineage and summer experiences at the JCC Camp, the memories were etched in Micelle Crawford-Sapenter's thoughts, to continue retrieving from a reservoir of high and quite ethical principle standards to which she refers today.

At the beginning of her educational climb, Micelle and siblings attended Charles Crossley Elementary, but were soon transferred to Washington Elementary during the time that their mother taught at the school During her elementary schooling, Michelle received lessons in symphony orchestra learning to play the cello. By 12 years of age she began writing music--reminded of one of her uncles, her father's brother, Marshal Crawford, who instructed the high school band at Solomon Coles High School, Corpus Christi, Texas. during the 40s and 50.

One of the last times Michelle recalls experiencing her father teaching her was the time when she attended his class during her 7th grade Middle School year while he instructed the class in mathematics. A time Micelle realized that her father made a lasting impression on her classmates and in her memory.

HIGH SCHOOL & HIGHER EDUCATION

As a high school student, Michelle Crawford-Sapenter began to recognize her penchant for leadership--a classification that had been whet while in Middle school after she convinced a gang of students to return an item that ad been forcibly taken from another student. By the time she turned sixteen, Micelle felt the strong sense of direction that, somehow, impressed upon her an interest in the U.S. Congress. High school shaped a number of steps Micelle would take, later, as she served on the student council, served as President of the Performing Arts Club and excelled in chemistry.

Following high school, Micelle would attend Del Mar College and later transfer to San Antonio college where she lived met her and married her sweetheart, the Great Grandson of Marcus Garvey, Lawrence Sapenter. She later learned that her husband's mother's lineage was only half the story of greatness finding it interesting that her husband's father was, also, a relative of Albert Einstein and Wm. Gillette. to the union of Lawrence and Michelle d. Sapenter 3 sons, Chadwick, Geoffrey and Devin were born. Sapenter also, took steps to adopt their daughter, the eldest child & step daughter, Cesiley Crawford-Martinez.

The education Micelle sought after would win her accolades. Though it was her hope to work on the local newspaper, se felt propelled by the interest she shared with her elder sister in radio broadcasting. During the late 70's, 80's Micelle Crawford-Sapenter worked along side her sister, Andrea Crawford ( the Midnight Lady) at the KTUF radio station, creating promo's overnight. Hardly getting in a good 5 hours of sleep before having to rush off to her classes, Michelle found that the work she was able to accomplish while producing sound and music beds in an actual studio provided a platform that assisted in her college studies of Radio Television and Film at San Antonio College.

By the year 1981, the collaborative efforts of Andrea Leette Crawford and sister, Micelle Crawford won resounding responses from the public. Andrea, radio air personality, received recognition by music artist, Gino Vannelli after he heard the sound bed that ad been produced by Micelle that contained his recording of off of his Storm At Sunup LP. Andrea Crawford received an 'Image Award that year for her astounding image and magnificent work in radio.

Other studies were led by her interest in Marketing and Economics. Micelle began studies in Marketing earlier in 1990. The attempt was, however, cut short following the death of her husband, Lawrence who died at age 34. Finding the environment to be somewhat complicated given the short length of time at adjusting to her loss, Micelle left Incarnate Word University and postponed a return to college for 15 years to continue working, as a portion of the time she occupied with work for the US Post Office.

Prior to studies at the University of the Incarnate Word, Michelle had, also, earned an additional two years of college credit added to her studies at San Antonio College while in attendance at St Philips College, San Antonio, Texas. Later, Micelle pursued studies in Marketing and Economics attending Texas A& M University, Corpus Christi, Texas, which was immediately followed by studies at the University of the District of Columbia, Washington D.C. respectively.

WORK & INVENTION

Michelle, also, took on a quite difficult job, in latter years, working as an auditor and traveling away from her family.

The years had shaped what would be characterized as mastery as Michelle became quite creative and, at one point in time, pivoted on a need for covering windows and walls to facilitate an urgent move to a new home.

Having het is teeth in an Austin marketing company, Marcellus presented a promising opportunity to hire someone trusting and trustworthy with which Michelle might share creative ideas. Marcellus continues to be a magnificently creative component in the Excel Market Trends /EMT company.

From the first invention, that which she gleaned from the efforts made by her grandmother, Mamie Skull Walker-Crawford, a avid marketer/advertiser in her own right--and in her own home. Though she never actually gained any benefit from her advertising and marketing concepts, it seems likely that the artistic venue had been her legacy --along with her delicious apple pies. It was the eldest brother, Andrew L. Crawford who seemed to take on attributes of magnificent artistry and Michelle who demonstrated the most ecumine for advertising, marketing and business. Not notwithstanding the family legacy for business, her grandfather, Memphis Crawford having operated a grocery store, the political legacy seemed to grow out of the familial atmosphere. Memphis Crawford, who died suddenly of a heart attack, 1958, had engaged in efforts to share his hope for ending debtor's prison.
