Spotlight: The Author of Her Life

As a successful young producer for a nationally syndicated radio program, Anita Woodley's career was well on its way. Her experiences growing up in the rich cultural environment of Oakland, California, gave her a unique voice—but she lacked the confidence to use it. She decided to take a Community Classroom Series course called “Write Your Life” and began a life-changing transformation. “It taught me to appreciate who I am and to put it into my work. I just soared!” she recalls. Anita has since taken another Friday Center course and recently won two national journalism awards.
