Meet The Dr Brenda Combs
Ambassador of Inspiration
Dr Brenda Combs, Ed.D Ambassador of Inspiration
Brenda grew up in a middle-class family but fell into a wrong crowd, began using drugs, and dropped out of school.
During her darkest days on the streets, she endured unspeakable trauma, including being beaten, shot, stabbed, raped, and burned with cigarettes. It took hitting rock bottom for Brenda to find the strength to turn her life around, praying and seeking forgiveness and help.
Brenda set her sights on education. As a single mother of her son, Mycale, who suffered a massive stroke at birth, she juggled three jobs while earning her B.S., M.Ed, and Ed.D
Brenda shares her story with a variety of audiences. Her journey has received national coverage, including an article in Reader’s Digest, and interviews on CNN News and NBC.
