Williams, who was born into nothing; neglected, starved, abused, and beaten, a product of the foster home system. He grew up without a table to sit at, let alone food to eat, yet today is endeared by millions of fans and followers...and welcomed at the White House! A heart-wrenching yet ultimately victorious story, you'll cry and laugh as you experience his life through Terrence's eyes. With the odds stacked against him, Terrence believed that a hard life is still a valuable life. He let his deprived upbringing shape him, not destroy him. Surrounded by a victim hood mentality, he pushed himself to reject the acceptance that his life would never be better. Today he's a popular voice for common-sense and a defender of freedom. This is the story of being let down by a system but not letting yourself down. If you're facing challenges and obstacles that seem insurmountable, Terrence's story will inspire and motivate you to find opportunities to grow in whatever situation you face. You'll discover how you can join Terrence as a part of the American Dream!"--Back cover. 541 $d 20201127. 600 1 $a Williams, Terrence K. 650 $a African American comedians $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Internet personalities $v Biography. 650 $a Foster children $v Biography. 650 $a Comedians $z United States $x Biography. 651 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2015. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062031.0 952 $l XUPC157 $d 20220503070919.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210922010159.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20210306020125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B1675A47E4A11EB8F0EA1F55EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
