Fellow Chickadee & "Southern" Californian


Seeing as how Thanksgiving falls on November 25, 2010, it got me to thinking about a special little Chickadee. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you, Anna-Jane Overton.


Anna-Jane Overton was born on November 25,1986 in Houston, Texas, to Keith and Donna Overton. The older of two children, Anna-Jane has one sister, Victoria Lynn.

Anna-Jane’s family moved to Southern California when she was five years old, but despite this, Anna-Jane has kept her Texas accent. From the time she was a preschooler, she has always started off a conversation with, “Hi, y’all!” Anna-Jane attended Wiley L. Sapp Elementary School as a kindergartener, and formed a friendship with fellow November baby Nikki Douglas. These two have been best friends ever since kindergarten.

After high school, Anna-Jane attended and graduated from University of Houston in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism. She is currently a feature writer for the Culver City Gazette, where she has a weekly column entitled, “Anna-Jane’s Corner.”
