INTRO:

This Saturday, two women will be among a select group of women who will be honored at a luncheon where they will be given the title of “Shero”. Avonda Fox overcame enormous loss after the death of her son but used that experience to protect other Texas Children. Royce Adams went from a jail cell to the development of a rehabilitation program for women. Both of these women overcame difficult circumstances and emerged as sheros.

They are here to talk a little about their experience and how it effected their lives and their parenting

QUESTIONS:

• At what point did you feel most like giving up and who or what sent you forward?
• Having lived through being a parent surrounded by difficulties, how did this change how you view parenting?
• About what are you proudest today?
• What do you want young women and girls who are struggling to learn from your story?
• In the midst of all that you experienced, what was one good moment of parenting that you remember?
• You are going to be honored at a luncheon sponsored by the Junior League of Richardson this Saturday. But they also produce a book of Shero stories. Can you tell me a little about this?
