Alesha Jones-Seabrooks remembers being a young girl growing up in Jacksonville. Along with her classmates at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, she'd throw wads of crumpled paper out her school bus window on the drive past Edward Waters College on Kings Road to her mother's Washington Heights apartment. One day, in an effort to keep the kids in line, a police officer spoke to the group of paper-throwers. "Be careful, you may become the queen of that college one day," Jones-Seabrooks recalls the officer telling her. She wrote it off, convinced she'd attend an arts college in Hollywood. By 1994, that prophecy came true.
