Ten Years Homeless. A Doctorate Later. A Movement Now.
Dr. Brenda Combs spent a decade living on the streets of Phoenix before rebuilding her life from the ground up — eventually earning her doctorate and becoming a nationally recognized speaker, author, and advocate. Today she leads four organizations built on the same principle that saved her: no one rebuilds alone.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
"What I appreciated the most is that Ms. Combs traveled a distance to come to our school and share a time in her life that wasn't so easy to talk about.
I also appreciated her willingness to answer questions that the students had. Her presentation was dynamic and moving for the students and me."
- Instructional Specialist, Powell Junior High School
"Dr. Combs captivated the audience with her breathtaking story. Some were in tears and I could see that each one of them had someone in their life or knew someone, who knew someone who battled or dealt with the same circumstances.
This became adamantly clear once the breakfast was over with the standing ovation of course and then book signing began. That day was so powerful and significant that they will be talking about Dr. Combs for years to come. She did a remarkable job"
-Clifford Beers Guidance Clinic
"Your sharing how you turned a life of homelessness and drug addiction to being an advocate for people overcoming daunting challenges was a story of perseverance and strength. I was moved and I know many others were as well.
Sometimes our challenges are larger than at other times, but the public library is always there. I appreciate your relating the value of the library to your and your son's life"
- Urban Libraries Council
