Terry has taught leadership development and life-enhancing skill sets that have helped her Small PEARLS, her girls, and women to find the fullness of their tremendous gifts and stand in flat-footed confidence, owning and knowing who they are and who God made them to become. The Small PEARL In Every Girl is the extension of this dynamic Program that has graduated eight high school seniors, gifting each with a Small PEARLS Scholarship at the institution of higher learning of their choosing.
