A native of Dallas, Texas, Jennifer Baker graduated from Texas State University with a bachelor’s degree in 2009. In college she studied Mass Communications and English in order to pursue a career as a author and public speaker. During her collegiate career she wrote for the school newspaper and has published several articles with one of her articles making the front page of the newspaper.
In her last semester of college, Jennifer’s studies lead her to become involved with blogging and social media. She created her first blog that was based on entertainment news, but after a while she felt a need to write about something more meaningful. After praying for inspiration and guidance, the idea to create a website geared towards young women turned into Mind of a Diva. Three years later she manages, writes, and continues to expand the reach of her brand.
Aside from working on her website she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, being involved in church, volunteering, watching TV, and shopping. She now resides in Houston with her family.
Jennifer will be on her show live tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Pacific. She will be talking about various subjects including “Mind Of A Diva” and her campaign against breast cancer.

The current spying controversy at the National Security Agency has caught many Americans off guard and has conjured up images of Big Brother.
