Two Mothers of Children with Disabilities Have Lots in Common

August 09, 2017

Debra McKinney Price is a Gospel Recording artist, who, since 2000 has been empowering & encouraging women through her music. She does this by sharing GOD’S word in songs at clubs, conferences, churches, concerts, radio, festivals, movies, etc. Her goal is, through the power of music, to help young women uncover their inner beauty, confidence, & strengths. According to Debra, "There's healing for depression, death, divorce, low self-esteem."

Coming out of an abusive marriage forced Debra & her children lived in a shelter for battered women. 3 weeks after the death of 1 of her twins, she filed for a divorce while battling hopelessness, depression, bitterness, anger, & fear of rejection. Debra had to learn to love herself & that there’s Hope & Healing for all broken hearts. This, in turn, taught her how much she's loved & approved by the One who created her. 

Emily Wallace, a motivational speaker & inspirational author, is the mother of a young daughter with a disability that medically leaves her unable to speak. That daughter, Bessie, is making strides in an unconventional way. She's beginning to break her silence by singing along with her big sister, Ernestine, a/k/a EMW.

Emily survived challenges & struggles of her own when she was a child. However, she turned those negative experiences into an unforgettable inspirational autobiography, Scarred for Life, illustrating the struggles she faced during her childhood.

Today, Emily has successfully raised her family. Her son, Larry, is becoming a TV host of Metro Arts Detroit for the next 2 years. Her older daughter, Ernestine, is an up-and coming singer/songwriter & recent high school graduate.
