Black History Month – Letter to My Younger Self – DCC Kat
Dear 7 year old Kat, You may not realize it now, but what you are going through is needed. I know you may be sad because you cannot live with mommy anymore but moving into Oma (grandma) and Papooh’s (grandpa) house will be the best thing that's ever happened to you. Mommy is working more jobs, so you can say, “YES!” to all the opportunities this world will throw your way. Don’t grow up too fast, slow down and have fun where you are. Oma and Papooh love raising
Black History Month- Letter to My Younger Self – DCC Armani
Dear Younger Self, I hope that you wake up every day knowing just how amazing you are! No, seriously amazing! You will accomplish so much in a short period. Life will not always be kind, but you will persevere and conquer every obstacle that you encounter. I want to let you know that you are so much stronger than you think. “Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.” There will be people in

Black History Month 2022 – Letter to My Younger Self – DCC KayDianna
KayDianna, If you only knew the greatness inside of you. For you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Embrace who God created you to be. Do not be afraid to be 100% YOU!

What God has meant for you is for you, and no one can take that away. DCC KayDianna

Dear Little Tyra, I want you to know everything is going to be ok. Life is full of ups and downs, and we are on this roller coaster together sis. You are going to go through things in life where it feels like the world is collapsing around you and you feel like giving up, but just remember, the life you were given is so special and unique to you.

Black History Month 2022 – Letter to My Younger Self – DCC Ashlee
Dear Ashlee, Who knew that your natural tendency to lead the group out for dance battles at recess, talent shows, and all things entertainment would be the first chapter? Who knew that you would be who I think about whenever I start to doubt myself and my abilities? Three year old Ashlee loved to be with the big kids, praise dancing down the Baptist church aisles, with so much conviction. Who knew that the same three year old would make the choice to confess Christ and be baptized? You

DCC Alumni Spotlight – Shannon Hall Salter
I had the pleasure of speaking with Shannon Hall Salter, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader from 1987-1990, and learning a little about her time on the team. She was a member of Show Group for her second and third season, as well as a 2nd group leader. She cheered with Kelli Finglass, the organization’s current director. I asked Shannon what it was like cheering with Kelli and she responded that she was a wonderful leader and an excellent veteran to follow. She has a photo of Kelli napping on
DCC Alumni Spotlight – Heather Pliler Gorton
We all know how exciting and highly anticipated the Cowboy’s annual Thanksgiving halftime performance is each year, and if it weren’t for the 2000 performance by Jessica Simpson, Heather Pliler Gorton may have not ended up becoming one of America’s Sweethearts. Back in the early 2000s Heather was dancing backup for Jessica Simpson when she had the opportunity to teach the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders prior to their halftime performance. It was this fated experience that led Heather to move back to Dallas from Los Angeles and try
