Essence: Who is Sharon Pratt Dixon? - new mayor of Washington D.C   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Dixon says she is "an upbeat romantic, the optimist." She's a 47-year-old lawyer who raised a family and built a successful career before running for the city's highest office. Dixon's father taught her that "the most attractive women are very intelligent, strong-willed Black women--the fiery type." He gave her Black's Law Dictionary for her birthday when she was still a young girl--more than a subtle hint that she was expected to follow in his footsteps. Dixon was comfortably molded into a wooden rocker she had positioned to catch the morning sun as it streamed into the living room of her simply decorated five-bedroom split-level home, nestled in one of Washington's more expensive, woodsy areas. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1264/is_n12_v21/ai_10514753   (1440 words)
