Encore - The Power of Focus

Original air date: Jan. 31,2010 Featuring Special Guest - Tawana Williams. From the shadows of obscurity and the anguish of disability, Tawana Williams was a victim of brutal medical negligence; due to the drug Thalidomide that was given to her mother during pregnancy. Born without arms and impaired use of her legs, her compelling life story unfolds her will to survive the anguish of physical defect and the shame of abuse and isolation. Unable to fight with human hands, she fought in spirit, and yet lives to stand through the grace and courage of God, Unarmed but Dangerous. Through the onslaught of adolescent peer pressure, Tawana became ensnared and locked for a decade in the bondage of drug use and abusive relationships. Unarmed but Dangerous unfolds Tawana’s walk through the midst of the most severe trials imaginable, as the gentle hand of God wipes away every tear, and gives peace to every unanswered question. Her story is sure to give healing to the most broken hearted, flight to the broken wing, and life to the lifeless dreams. Tawana has been speaking and traveling throughout this country since 1996; to churches, schools, prisons, day cares, nursing home, rehabilitation centers, and corporations. She gives a powerful and enlightening message of Hope and Inspiration to all generations. We'll discuss her life and why she's dedicated this year to be a year of "FOCUS."
