<strong>Terry</strong> <strong>McMillan</strong>, award-winning<br />
author of Waiting to Exhale and How<br />
Stella Got Her Groove Back will share<br />
her experiences as one of today's<br />
leading African-American authors.<br />
In the early days of her writing<br />
career, <strong>Terry</strong>, a single-mother, would<br />
wake before dawn to write before<br />
going to work. Her success in<br />
portraying the struggles and joys<br />
of African-American women has<br />
led to professorships at universities<br />
such as Stanford and multi-milliondollar<br />
film deals. Her books have<br />
consistently topped the New York<br />
Times best-seller lists, and she has<br />
won numerous awards, including<br />
an NAACP Image Award.<br />
