March is officially National Women’s History Month. The HBCU Buzz show is showing our appreciation for phenomenal women from the past, present, and future with a few special guests this month. We are kicking off our first show in March with Dr. Teresa (Dr. T) Wilburn, a Spelman graduate, long-time educator, author, and professional life coach.
A committed out of the box thinker and professor of life, Dr. Teresa (Dr. T) Wilburn brings a special brand of ingenuity and enthusiasm to her work as a professional educator and counselor. For nearly 30 years, Dr. T has dedicated her life to inspiring and equipping her students with the tools necessary to become the architects of their own success.
Integrating her studies with her experiences in life and the classroom, Dr. T has recently authored a self-help book entitled, My Life A Bestselling Story due out in early February 2013. This interactive reader is designed to help people reach their full potential through the art of journaling.
Dr. Wilburn uses journaling as a teaching and counseling tool for students as young as kindergarten and as
sophisticated as Master’s level. “Journaling reaches the soul and helps us to be reflective and grow”, says
Dr. T.
Growing in popularity as a speaker, Dr. T uses her innovative approach of interactive learning to empower
and equip her students to expand their minds and broaden their thinking.
Her newest initiative, Middle School University provides Middle School parents with useful information about
how to prepare their adolescents for college. Sessions focus on empowering parents/caregivers to become
advocates in student learning and improve student outcomes that ultimately lead to overall academic
success.
A native of Chicago but grew-up in Atlanta, Dr. T was raised by a strong quorum of hard-working women
who expected nothing but the very best. The loving instruction from mother taught her how to live and laugh
but attending Spelman College taught her how to embrace learning.
Dr. T holds a Bachelor’s degree from Spelman College, a Master’s degree in Business Administration from
National Louis University, a Master’s in School Administration from Jones International University, and an
Educational Specialist and Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Sarasota.
In addition to her roles as an administrator an college professor, Dr. T has been a guest on several radio
shows in the Atlanta area. This seasoned educator is single and lives in a suburb of Atlanta.
