Coralisa T. Matthews, (Baby-Doll)
I was born to Cecelia & Charles Coursey Sr., of Port Norris, NJ. I am the youngest of six, with six other half brothers and sisters. I joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1979 and served more than 26 years in the Corp, I am a retired veteran who love to ride her Harley. I retired as a MSG (E-8) in March 2006. While in the military I have had the chance to travel the world under the (Exceptional Athlete Program) in my younger years of the army. I served as the All Army Track and Field Team Captain for (7yrs) 1981-1988. I also qualified with a Javelin Throw of 172ft-6in, to compete in the1984 Olympic Trials in San Jose California where I spent more than 7 years of training at San Francisco St. University, Hayward St. University California, to get to the Olympic but because of shoulder injury I was not able to compete so I decided to go to college and obtain my degree in Criminal Justice.
I first started riding 1000 Kawasaki in 1983 with the Drill Sergeant Club at Ft Dix NJ, the big bike at the time no other female would ride. Now I ride a real big bike a 2004 Fat Boy (Harley) it is also a back-up bike for my wonderful husband Firman (Stinkey”) when his Gold Wing is down. It feels so good to hear him tell me the Gold Wing is dead! And that he wants to use the real bike my Harley. You should see wrinkles on his face when he tells me honey I need to ride your (Harley).
Throughout my military career I have always been that out going person to plan and sponsor events to help others in the civilian and military community without hesitation. While assigned at Ft. Bragg NC, I came across the Buffalo Soldiers in 2004.
I became very interested in riding with them because I had a motorcycle and once I found out what they were really about I wanted to join the club without hesitation because of who they were and the history about the Buffalo Soldiers was still being told through this club. I knew a lot about the Buffalo Soldiers because I taught Black History as a culture training in the military so I knew that with-in myself that I could offer something special to the club when it came to community work because they were doing things that I love to do, fund raisers scholarships and educating our community.
Because the Buffalo Soldiers are a well diverse group of mature professional it has a great impact on our youth and adults when they come in contact with us. Being apart of the Buffalo Soldiers has allowed me to continue to be a positive team player in doing good works in our community.
I married my wonderful childhood sweetheart Firman Matthews in 2005 after 23 years.
I admire so much! It was all apart of the “Lords” plan that we be together after 23 years to share our life together.
I want to thank all the Buffalo Soldiers for being a special family to me and my husband and showing us that you care when I was so very sick and one year later the same day my motorcycle accident. I have decided not to go out the house on April 22.
