She is a highly sought-after speaker who has been celebrated as “The Transformer” at schools, national conferences, organizations, businesses, and churches. In addition, Deborah is the author of three influential books:
Beyond her professional achievements, Deborah serves as Vice President of Teachers Who Pray. She also supports causes like Compassion International and Prison Fellowship Angel Tree.
