Dr. Eboni Wilson was born in Los Angeles, California. His life consisted of
growing up in the poverty-stricken streets of South Central, where
starvation, homelessness, drug-raids, crack addicted parents, gang-life,
and violence were part of his every day life. His anger and frustration with
his home life was unleashed on his teachers. Throughout his elementary
school years he was placed in special education classes.

He met two important men in his life that opened his eyes to see that
through education, perseverance, diligence and faith he could achieve
success and survive the many obstacles that were trying to hold him
down in the ghetto.

His athletic skills helped him enter college under a football scholarship. He
played defensive end for the Washington State Cougars’ and he helped
his team progress to the Rose Bowl in 1998. Suffering from a spinal injury,
he was once again faced with the realization that education was going to
be his path to success. Despite the many doubts of those around him, he
earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology and in just 6 ½ years, he
earned his Masters in Education and his PhD at the young age of 24!

Dr. Wilson overcame tremendous odds to be where he is today. He has
been an administrator in Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and St. Louis.
He is a husband, author, poet, and motivational speaker. His desire is to
help educate and encourage youth, adults, parents, educators, and
community leaders to fulfill the visions of their heart and to understand
how to “break the cycle” of ignorance and poverty. He is a living
testament to all that education is the key to help overcome the negative
circumstances of life and how education helps you be in charge of your
own destiny!
