Description

Boswell Book Company presents an evening with Terry Wells-Jones, author of Reflections!: Looking in the Mirror. Born in the era of Jim Crow segregation, Terry Wells-Jones grew up in a small town in the Deep South. Even from a young age, she knew she was destined to overcome the obstacles that faced her. Through her faith, belief, hope, stamina, and grit, Wells-Jones overcame a traumatic experience and countless roadblocks to become one of the first Black models in the mid-1960s. She also became the first woman hired by a Fortune 500 company in a sales position. Breaking through the glass ceiling, opening doors for other women in a male-dominated world, Terry Wells-Jones fought many battles to reach her level of success in business while also cultivating a happy family life. In this memoir, Wells-Jones shares the philosophies that helped her on her journey, as well as the disappointments and opposition she faced along the way. This is her astounding success story. Before embarking on her business career, former Milwaukeean Terry Wells-Jones was a model for Oscar de la Renta, and was the first Black model to appear in a full-color ad in the Milwaukee Journal. Terry Wells-Jones has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin in Pre-Med and Business and is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
