In her inspirational and spiritual diary, "From D.I.V.A to Disabled: A Determined Individual with a Victorious Attitude" (Christian Faith Publishing), Dr. Michelle celebrates D.I.V.A. as people whose life has been curtailed by a chronic illness disability that has changed their lives forever. For her, D.I.V.A. encompasses all ages, races rich or poor, and any gender who are living with a life-changing debilitating illness: multiple sclerosis, cancer, strokes, diabetes, chronic arthritis, accidents and other healthcare crises.

“I believe the acronym for D.I.V.A. is far reaching. When people think ‘diva,’ it’s like about someone with an elegant air. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that,” explains Dr. Michelle, who holds the copyright to D.I.V.A. “To me, D.I.V.A., a ‘Determined Individual with a Victorious Attitude,’ is not only a female. It’s all races – young and old. It encompasses many people who would fit in this category of a victorious attitude over a disability.”

Dr. Michelle knows about being a “diva.” She grew up in New York City, the daughter of famed theater producer Woodie King and respected educator Willie Mae King. Family friends were folks like Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

As a teen in the 1970s, she was a wardrobe assistant for Judy Dearing with Joseph Papp’s NYC summer parks production of Ron Milner’s What the Wine Sellers Buy, which was co-produced by Woodie King.

However, her passion was education, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education, and two Master of Science degrees in education and administration from CCNY. She continued her studies and after successful completion of the Doctor of Education program she was awarded a Doctoral degree as an Education Specialist in Administration Leadership from Walden University. In the New York City public school system, she rose to positions as administrator and assistant principal at several Harlem schools including PS 192 and PS 125. She made a six-figure salary, traveled frequently, married Anthony Jerome Huger owner of a successful car wash and detail business in New Jersey, raised their son Jerome W.E. Huger, attended church and drove luxury cars like Jaguars and Mercedes Benz.

Then, in 2007, life began to crumble. She lost her husband to a heart ailment. By 2011, her continuing health crisis was diagnosed as progressive multiple sclerosis. She evolved from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair and now lives in North Carolina with primary care- giver being her loving mother.

Prayer is an important part of Dr. Michelle’s life. “My doctors say I’m a prayerful person. And I know it has an important part and role in my healthcare,” she explains. “Even though you pray, you must deal with the action. For me the action is therapy and exercise. The action must be positive force.”

Dr. Michelle is an advocate retaining compassionate doctors. She writes to make sure that when you see your doctor you do not leave the office feeling more upset or discouraged than when you arrived. That kind words of compassion about what you are going through mean a lot.

In addition, she recommends that people with disabilities share feelings and listen to others. It could be family, healthcare workers or a discussion group. She points out that just by listening to somebody you’ll see that everyone has a story to tell and it’s important.

“I was moved by my daughter’s inspirational and spiritual book. It redefines the word D.I.V.A. It gives D.I.V.A. a new inspirational strength,” says Woodie King. “From D.I.V.A. to Disabled helps in guiding anyone with a health disability from feeling alone. It is a realization that so many others are there with you and willing to help. As an educator who has been living with multiple sclerosis for several years, she lovingly shares her experiences, insights and advice. She tells readers that they are not alone in pain. Dr. Michelle King-Huger is a true D.I.V.A.”

“Understand your life is in transformation,” Dr. Michelle stresses. “I am a survivor and I want you to become a survivor. I am stronger and wiser and more aware of the suffering of others. People who are dealing with disabilities are not alone. I have accepted the fact that I am a new member of this exclusive club where membership is free.”

Dr. Michelle King-Huger offers words of inspiration and steps of actions for dealing with living life as a D.I.V.A. a Determined Individual with a Victorious Attitude. "From D.I.V.A to Disabled: A Determined Individual with a Victorious Attitude" (Christian Faith Publishing, 2019) is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in hardcover and paperback.

Camacho worked alongside Russian director Andrey Bogatyrev and Producers Igor Dobrovolsky, Alexander Nevsky, Yulia Perkul and Eric Brenner.

Quote from Director:
“The (Wild League) script read like an epic love story in an era of Honor, idealism and unyielding determination. Within minutes of reading the first few pages I found myself no longer siting in my office in Los Angeles but transported to Russia at the turn of the Century. As I read on I realized that this was a story that needed to be told and it needed to be told with the same fierce compassion and determination the characters themselves possessed.”

Filmmaker Art Camacho, known for Directing Indie Action films and a renowned as a fight action choreographer took the helm of this drama to tell a passionate story driven by strife and conflict. (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0131064/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1)

Due to artistic reputation, personal safety and other concerns, the artists in this band have chosen to stay anonymous for now.

Orwellian World draws inspiration from George Orwell's classic novel, 1984, and draws on many concepts and ideas in the novel. Ministry of Woke’s current focus is on releasing the album to coincide with the Canadian federal elections. The band may re-release the same song or a similar song in the future to coincide with American 2020 elections. The single, Orwellian World addresses the generic issue of Military Industrial Complex from a global perspective and points out the problems associated with it, in particular in relation to arms sales to dictatorships like Saudi Arabia.

With the current Canadian focus, the band's website, http://ministryofwoke.com, forwards to https://endarmssales.com to educate all Canadian voters, young and old, about the devastation Canada is engaging in by trading arms with the Saudi dictatorship. They are raising the question “How Are We Different From The Nations That Traded Arms With Nazi Germany?”

The websites will be modified to address American voters sometime in 2020.

The song will be available on all major streaming platforms such as Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Music and others in the near future.

This evening of non-stop fun showcases cabaret favorites Rob Langeder (The Wild Wedding starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich), Lyle Smith Mitchell, from TV's The Hour of Power, and Sophia Tzougros (Broadway bound musical Impossibly George). The artistic team for directing, choreography and music includes Tony nominee Walter Willison (Two By Two/Grand Hotel), Joanna Rush (A Chorus Line and the film At the Palace) and Elliot Finkel (Sid Caeser & Co./Michael Feinstein In Concert/Finkel's Follies).

Hubner’s national book tour kicked off in Rochester NY on October 1. She is re-visiting many of the families who received a free set of tires from her last year. Dates and locations are announced on TheTireMom.com. This is Hubner’s second year in a row, raising awareness about tire manufacture dates and tire safety and she is already on a roll having visited Rochester Hills and Port Huron in Michigan, Chicago, IL, Perry, IA, Salt Lake City, UT, and Las Vegas, NV, and Burbank, CA, so far. Hubner is scheduled to be in Denver, CO on October 16th for a feature on KDVR Fox 31, and to appear at her first book signing event.

“I lost my husband because we didn’t know how important it is to check the age of your tires,” says Hubner. “We’re told to check the air pressure and the tire tread, but seldom look at the manufacture date on the sidewall.”

As a stay-at-home mom who simply wanted to learn more about tires after the loss of her husband, Hubner set out to learn from the experts. In addition to sharing her newfound knowledge about how to read the manufacture date on tires, Tire Mom is also the story of how Hubner channeled her grief into helping others stay safe on the road. Tire Mom can be purchased on Amazon.com and from TheTireMom.com.
