“Family is not an important thing. It’s everything!”

Ms. Hampton  grew up as a member of a pretty large family village that believed in celebrating all holidays, and anything in between. Therefore, she has grown into an advocate of  all things family. Ms. Hampton's immediate family includes her parents, three siblings, many nieces and nephews, and one son who she absolutely adores beyond the moon and stars.
