Motivational speaker Dee Hankins has devoted his gifts, skills, and ...

times more likely to end up in a prison than to ever step foot on a college campus. Now this would have
been the case for me had I not gotten a call from a college sponsorship program called United Friends of
the Children. They persistently encouraged me to enroll in college and even offered me a scholarship.
Their effort opened my eyes and changed my entire view on life itself. They helped me realize that there
are people who do care.
I did not drop out of high school and I definitely did not end up in prison. As a matter of fact, I graduated
from California State University; Long Beach with a B.S. in Criminal Justice. I’ve also started my own
business called Win Your Challenges. I’ve come to realize that God has blessed me with a gift of
speaking and a story to tell. Life has challenges, some small, some big, and my job is to help inspire
people to win them, ESPECIALLY MY FAMILY: CURRENT AND FORMER FOSTER YOUTH. Visit me at
