About me:

WHO IS ARLETHER WILSON

A LEADER. ADVOCATE. MENTOR & SURVIVOR  

Challenging Stereotypes:
No one challenges traditional roles and stereotypes more than Arlether Wilson.  After spending more than ten years in foster care she moved back to Fifth Ward, a poverty stricken community in Houston, Texas where no one was expected to excel.  While her life story is similar to many African American women, it is surprisingly distinctive.  Arlether has always been an achiever and attributes her drive, determination and will to survive to her unyielding faith.  As the oldest of three children she was expected to grow up fast and relinquish much of her childhood.  Then just when she thought the generational cycle of teen pregnancy was broken she became pregnant and was forced to drop out of school during her senior year.

Struggles:
During her journey Arlether encountered many struggles, but none as arduous or impactful as homelessness. In the end it proved to be a great learning experience, even though several people tried to discourage her by telling her that she would never succeed because of her family history.  Fortunately, Arlether was determined to defy their beliefs and follow her own dreams.  Her life changed after Black American poet, essayist and lecturer, Nikki Giovanni visited Phillis Wheatley High School.  That was the first time that Arlether was inspired to write. 

Defying the odds:
After her divorce she applied and was accepted into the police academy, where she graduated number one in her class.  Three years later she was promoted to sergeant and later excelled to the rank of captain.  During her tenure as an officer Arlether also earned her Master Peace Officer Certification, which is the highest certification an officer can attain.  Then in 1998 she was honored as “Officer of the Year” and later earned several congressional commendations.

Arlether is a veteran officer and has gained a wealth of experience, which includes being a certified Child Abuse and Family Violence Investigator.  But she didn’t stop there.  In 2001 Arlether graduated from cum laude from the University of Houston and later earned her Masters Degree in Behavioral Science.

Then in 2005 Arlether was offered a position with another agency where she created and manages a Victims’ Services Division.  Today Arlether is an advocate for abused women and children throughout her city.  She believes that it is important to take an active and supportive role in one’s community, and not just sit back and “point fingers”.  Therefore she is an avid volunteer for many charitable organizations.

Although Arlether has an unusual background for a writer, she is the debut author of an inspirational memoir, Rewriting the Script, is available on her website, in bookstores and online..

 

Family:
Despite all of her accomplishments, Arlether is most proud of being a good mother to two wonderful young adults. She is presently working on her next book, her own non-profit organization and her doctorate.

Arlether's debut novel, Rewriting The Script is not just another story about a girl surviving life in the streets. It’s much more than that. It is a soul stirring and motivational story of a girl abandoned and abused in the foster care system. After being placed back into a community plagued by crime, drugs, violence, and prostitution she decided to choose a different path. Life was difficult. However, she was determined not just to survive, but to change the course of her family’s history. Rewriting The Script is a heartwarming story of desperation, grief and triumph. This courageous girl’s story confirms that it is possible for anyone to Rewrite Their Life’s Script.

 

 

This phenomenal Memoir is Available for Purchase at Most Online Bookstores.

Reviewer –  Sidne Kingston, United Book Club of America

It’s unconceivable to the mind, devastating to the heart, and a T-K-O to the body.

 

Rewriting the Script will have you flipping the script!  A page-turner that’s guaranteed to make you do two out of three things:  Throw the book, rip up the book or cry through the book.  If you never read a novel that made you call out Jesus name, prepare yourself, for all there is left to say is “JESUS”.

 

This poignant novel is a heart breaking riveting life story that begins for a young girl at the tender age of five.  Can you imagine a five-year-old saying, “He shoved it deeply down my throat.”?
Can you imagine being forced to drink a concoction of dead roaches in some form of liquid?  These incidents don’t even touch the surface beholding in this novel.

 

The story grips at the core of your imagination vividly of the inhuman characters responsible for the incessant turmoil of emotional and physical damages penetrating the young girls life.  As the author chronicles the story, she depicts the demons that plagued her life in such detail that you feel her fear, anxiety and struggles from within those pages.  Several times you will cry out, “no more, dear Lord, she can’t take no more, please help her!

 

From within the author, this novel serves as a living witness that you can survive against the threatening obstacles of life’s cruelty that steals your self – worth.  This novel serves as a walking testimony of faith and strength defying the “generational curses.”  This novel offers HOPE.  A hope that you will succumb to Rewriting your Script as you hopes it to be, not as life circumstances depicts.

 

 I applaud the author; Arlether Wilson for her courageous willingness to expose her life of violence, sexual abuse, abandonment, devastating deaths, incest, & deceit that are now hurdles of victories.

 

Once you finish reading this novel, you will be compelled to never complain against another thing in your life.
The novel is shocking, its powerful, its heartfelt and it’s A Must READ!!

 

The rating for Rewriting the Script on a scale of 1-5 is a 5+++!!!
