About the author
Evangelist Terri Dionne Wooten-Graham is a 54-year old TV & Radio Personality, Basic Sign Language Interpreter and Piano Instructress, Choir Directress, Author, Counselor, Founder & CEO of "T-Dionne's Women's Friendship Group (WFG) & Network," Musician (Celebrating 46 years), Ordained Evangelist, and a Motivational, Inspirational, & Empowerment Speaker! Terri is Degreed in Psychology (B.A.) and Certified in Marriage & Family Therapy (CAGSMFT). Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, and an ex-college basketball player for Xavier University (mid-80's - Center Position), after being the First African-American Female to receive a Full Basketball Scholarship to Xavier University, she now happily resides in Riverdale, Georgia, where she is still celebrating the fact that all four of her children have graduated from the University of West Georgia, and are now all school teachers! She also enjoys her Beautiful Daughter-in-law, who is studying nursing, and her three adorable grandchildren! Terri loves to cook from scratch, crochet, and watch her favorite shows, such as Golden Girls, Reba, Joyce Meyer, and "This is Us!" After trying to end her life 34 years ago, Terri had the most AMAZING experience ever - on Friday 13th (March 13, 1987), while among her now "Old Bethlehem Temple Apostolic Church Family" & her now "Big & Little Sisters for Life" Family - Terri repented and got Baptized in Jesus' Name, and filled with the PRECIOUS, BEAUTIFUL GIFT of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) - speaking in tongues, and emerged with a glow on her face that is still there - shining as brightly as ever, because of the HOPE she has - in Jesus Christ! Terri loves for people to feel the love of God from her everywhere she goes, and, one of the main ways she has fun putting forth that love, is illustrated in the way she ends all four of her TV Shows (since 2003), The Terri Graham Radio Show, her Conferences, and her everyday verbiage with her friends, family, and/or church families, by holding up her hand in sign language, using the forefinger, baby finger, and thumb, in a forward movement enthusiastically - while saying the word "BAM!" "BAM" means that "Everyone has something Beautiful, Awesome, & Magnificent about themselves - BAM!" She calls it "puttin' love on folks - with the impact and power of a PUNCH!" "You are NOT a Toilet! Learning to See Yourself through God's Eyes!" is a "Game-changing" book, reflecting on just how big of an impact that God has had on her life, as He has lovingly, and without fail, navigated her through surprise divorces, church issues, disappointments, misunderstandings, harrowing and life-altering health issues, and, in her words - "garbage, crap, things, & "stuff!" You ask her, she will tell you, that "Jesus is still the BEST thing that ever happened to me - AMEN & BAM!"
