Dr. Shirley K. Clark A WOMAN EMPOWERED & ANOINTED TO EMPOWER OTHERS

It was a day Dr. Shirley Clark would never forget. It was her high school graduation. As the great Charles Dickens’s novel said, “It was the best of times and the worst of times.” Dr. Clark was 17 years old, and in her own words, “she was quite ignorant to all that was going on around her during this time in her life. She had truly little insight about her graduation and education. All she knew, it was expected of her to finish high school, but completing it had no long-term meaning in her life.” You see, the entire 17 years of Dr. Clark’s life, she was reared in an impoverished environment and her daily mindset was survival. With her mother having only a six-grade education and her father having little education as well, they did not have the educational acumen to share with her why education was important. When Dr. Clark’s parents married, they were sixteen years old. They lived in a rural community down on the East Coast, Washington, NC. Everybody in the community mostly worked in fields planting and harvesting primarily corn, collard greens, and tobacco. So, when her parents married at such an early age, they had to forfeit their education to work to create a life for themselves and their seven children.

As you can imagine, taking care of all of them was a challenge. But everything deteriorated when her father started drinking and abusing her mother. Eventually, her mother had to leave the marriage and move back to her hometown. With little education and no job, her mother had to make the toughest decision in her life—to put her children in the hand of caregivers. They were in foster care for three years. Dr. Clark was five when this happened, and it was three years later that she and siblings were united with their mother. However, their caregivers during this transitional period were very abusive. They endured physical and psychological abuse as well as molestation.

When they united back with their mother from day to day, they did not know how they were going to survive. According to Dr. Clark, life growing up in poverty was awful! Dr. Clark did graduate from high school, but she did not know how to write a complete sentence, all she knew how to write was a run on sentence. Her life took a turn for the best when she married up (married into a family that believed in higher education). Most of his family had earned higher educational degree. But in Dr. Clark’s pedigree there were four generations without a higher educational degree. It was at the age of 35 that Dr. Clark found herself in a lab learning what a comma and a semicolon were.

But today, Dr. Clark is the CEO and Founder of Clark’s Consulting Firm, LLC. It was in the year 2000 that Dr. Clark established her business.
