Dr. Brenda Combs

Living proof that the human spirit can overcome the toughest of obstacles, Dr. Brenda Combs's motto is: "If I can do it, anybody can do it." With a life story dubbed "from homeless to hero" by the media, Dr. Combs overcame a cocaine addiction and an unrelenting life on the streets to attain a master's degree in special education, earn a doctorate in organizational leadership, and become a teacher of at-risk youth – all while raising a young son on her own.

Dr. Combs has been listed in Who's Who Among America's Teachers and featured in Reader's Digest, and has appeared on CNN News and The Today Show. She created the Finding My Shoes event in Phoenix to help the city's homeless during the winter, and is an advocate for domestic violence awareness.

She received her PhD in organizational leadership at Grand Canyon University, where she was the school's "Ambassador of Inspiration and Achievement," sharing her story with youth groups, churches, and professional organizations nationwide. Says Dr. Combs, "I believe in myself and my ability to do my best. I'm intelligent and I'm capable of achieving greatness. I think every person has inside of them what it takes to succeed."
