Life Stories: Our Journey
Donation protected
I raised an NBA Player, but it did not come about in a conventional or easy fashion. Our story starts with my traumatic childhood and the murder/suicide of my parents when I was 19. Also at the age of 19 I became the mother of PJ Hairston. It was a long journey and struggle for us both.
I have decided to embark on a public speaking tour to share the story and talk about experiences that hopefully will inspire others to continue to work hard and overcome barriers.
I have never publically spoken about UNC and the time that my son and I had with the University. It is time to clear the air and let people know the perils and pitfalls that can come about playing NCAA basketball.
This tour is not to bash anyone or search for pity, but it is about empowerment, perseverance, loyalty, and family! A portion of proceeds from this tour will be donated to Domestic Violence Awareness.
Thank you in advance for helping me launch a tour that I believe will be a transforming experience for all that attend.
All the best,
Wendy
