Quitters Never Win and Winners Never Quit

Need a lift? Don't miss our conversation with Dr. Angela Isom. Like a real life version of the movie PRECIOUS, Angela Isom has lived through and overcome more than most of us can imagine. As a teen, Dr. Isom moved in with an abusive drug addicted boyfriend. They were usually hungry and on the verge of being homeless. This was compounded by the fact that her father was imprisoned and drug addicted. Despite these barriers, she eventually returned to high school. She went from all F's to all A's. She earned lots of college scholarships to pay for school and her rent. Later, Isom left her middle school sweetheart. Along her journey, she became a single mom. Her son's father wouldn't speak to her until God changed his heart. She turned to welfare to make ends meet. She didn't let any of this stop her. By age 22, she was in grad school at Case Western Reserve University. She also founded an organization that led to television appearances and a newspaper front page. By age 24, she was teaching college. By 25, she was attending Harvard. At 28, she became senior professor. Since then, she has written an autobiography, led people worldwide to God, met the President, and earned a doctorate degree. Dr. Angela Isom is our guest on WAMS Friday May 28th at 3pm ET. Don't miss it!
