Sister Deborah Houston
Newark Church of Christ
Debb Houston believes in her purpose of "Revolutionizing The Inner Woman.
To Move Beyond The Pain Of Her Past In Order To Embrace Her Power & Purpose!* She has devoted her life to providing resources through the avenues of authoring and lecturing that will enable them to do so. It is this platform of empowering the whole woman that has catapulted her as a sought after inspirational and motivational speaker. She travels across the world encouraging women to embrace the totality of the women that they were created and destined to become with the understanding that they were "Created By GOD- For GOD!".
Debb's personal story of a life raised in the ghetto of Philadelphia, PA reminds her audience of the power that lies within and our ability to achieve excellence, to live an abundant life and to serve others. She believes that when we embrace our individual passion, power and purpose, and when we strive to empower one another, we become a collective force that will have a positive impact on our world, affecting generations to follow.

She has also been involved in the fashion industry since her early teens and has done extensive modeling on a national level, including magazine and newspaper print, television commercials, runway shows for various clothing companies and some of Americas celebrated designers. She accepted an invitation to appear on the runway during the world-renowned New York Fashion week and served as a Photo Movement and Runway Instructor for the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency. She continues to model on a limited basis, however her passion is the encouragement and the empowerment of the universal woman to reach for the rediscovery of their best selves while encouraging others to do the same.
Debb has authored numerous books - "Father Knows Best", "Celebrate U: The Phenomenality of U", "STYLE On The INSIDE" and the "LIVE LIFE Mastermind Series" of devotional workbooks. Each page-turning book teaches life-changing lessons in a unique way that will leave the reader wanting more. Her books have been used as classroom study guides as well as lecture themes and workshops. Her reading audience continues to anticipate her future works of literature, knowing that from the first page to the last, they will be inspired and encouraged to be their best - for themselves and others.

Debb has a podcast entitled "A Dose Of Debb". Her audience has reached international status and continues to grow on a daily basis as she offers practical advice, words of wisdom, empowerment and the extra dose that is needed to get you over, beyond and through life's struggles. To further enhance the lives of women, she recently became a Certified Life Coach and guides women through life's circumstances with her "LIVE LIFE Mastermind Coaching Series - FMWO (For Minister's Wives Only); Moving Beyond (practical tools to move beyond the pain of the past) and "The P3: Priceless - Powerful - Purposed" (The Rhythmic Heartbeat of Today's Young Woman" - for women ages 20-40.)
