Tune in to the Women to Women Radio Talk Show on AmFm247.com this Thursday, August 5th @ 4 pm (EST) to hear our special guest, Dr. Derrick Allen.

He is originally born and raised in Brookhaven, Mississippi. Dr. Allen is the eldest of his siblings. He is currently an Assistant Principal at Tri-Cities High School and recently coached the girls' Middle school team to a 15-2 championship last year.

Dr. Allen comes from humble beginnings. His mom worked 3 jobs as they started out living in Carver Heights projects. Then, they moved to Eastview and the last neighborhood was Brignal. He attended Alcorn State University where he graduated with his bachelor’s in physical education, Master's in Guidance Education where he was a President Scholar. Later, he graduated from the University of Phoenix with his Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Dr. Allen played basketball in High School, College, and Semi-professionally for a few years. Also, he had an NBA tryout, a record deal, and taught soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan to highlight a bit of his background. His grandmother is the most important person in my life and my role model as she exhibited love, hard work, and forgiveness. His work ethic has been influenced by his mother; a person who does not make excuses and will outwork anyone.

As he started “Without her, I would not be where I am today as she kept me in line as I once was a hard-headed young man. Her unconditional love overcame whatever I went through as she was always there through the good and bad. Currently, Dr. Allen is working on his new book “7 Days to Live” and has the next two projects scheduled “Re-Invent Yourself” and “The Black Man Ultimatum.”

His current books are “Life After High School”; “Teacher 2 Face” and most recently Classroom Management 101. Presently, he invests in cryptocurrency and is working towards his own business.

If you are a teacher, coach, or a leader of any kind you don't want to miss this interview or purchase Dr. Allen's books.
