She should know!  Thelma overcame childhood abuse and poverty to become the happy, successful woman you see today.  The first black woman to become an Assistant Vice President of a commercial bank, Thelma went on to organize an international speaking and consulting company (for which she received the Small Business Administration's Entrepreneur of the Year Award), earn a master's degree, and become a college professor.  Last year Thelma was awarded an honorary doctorate - but she says we don't have to call her "Dr. Wells".  Her new book,What These Girls Knew,takes a look at women in the Bible and what they have to tell us today.  Thelma and husband George live in Texas, enjoying their children and grandchildren.
