Join me as we celebrate brain injury survivors around the world!  Brain Injury Awareness Month, observed each March, was established 3 decades ago to educate the public about the incidence of brain injury and the needs of persons with brain injuries and their families.  Caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or penetrating head injury, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to short or long-term changes affecting thinking, sensation, language, or emotion.  Each year, at least 2.5 million children and adults suffer from a TBI in the United States. Of those, 50,000 dies and 280,000 require hospital admission, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Most of us never imagine that our lives could be impacted by a serious brain injury, but between 3.2 and 5.3 million Americans live with long-term disabilities resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI). In fact, this number could be middle-of-the-road because many people, including professional athletes, may never seek treatment.   We can’t ignore this problem any longer!  So, join me and other brain injury survivors as we share tools and strategies to help raise awareness about the risks associated with brain injury.  Remember...education is the key to prevention!   Listen to her interview here:  http://tobtr.com/11688217

AUTHOR TYRIA D. JONES

Tyria D. Jones currently resides in Houston, Texas with her husband Kenneith and youngest daughter Kiara. Her life is filled with overflowing joy, but it hasn’t always been so happy. She struggled most of her life trying to find out who God created her to be. What was her purpose in life? What made her special in God’s eyes? It wasn’t until she started looking at herself the way God does that she realized she had a story to share. She realized her purpose was in that story. Tyria has always had a ministry for women and served in various leadership roles over the past ten years; however, it is through the pain she overcame in her own life that God has allowed her to write A Crown of Beauty for Ashes.  Listen to her interview here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/she-praiseradiomagazine/2018/05/25/conquerors-cafe-author-spotlight-featuring-author-tyria-d-jones
