Her journey began in poverty on the South Side of Chicago. She went on to earn a doctorate degree in pharmacy from Creighton University, endured a very difficult marriage, many failed pregnancies, career turmoil and health challenges. Through it all, she knew she possessed the power within her to not only create her own dream life, but to help others along the way. She is now the happy mother of two teenagers, a successful pharmacist, and an actress. Since she was a young girl, Dravon dreamt of a life on the stage. Today, her career credits include a recurring role on HBO\u2019s acclaimed \u201cThe Wire,\u201d many stage plays, and independent films.<\/p>\n<p>In 2002, Dravon began incorporating her personal development stories into her professional healthcare lectures at hospitals, long-term care facilities, and senior centers. Her journey and teachings resonated with her audiences, and it became apparent that many people were more interested in the Everyday Peace component of her talks than the pharmaceuticals. She was even invited to be the keynote speaker on Everyday Peace at one of the senior center\u2019s annual staff appreciation events.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Dravon continues to inspire and teach what she knows to be the most effective tool for transforming, creating, and building a spectacular life\u2014tapping into Everyday Peace. Her client list includes the University of the District of Columbia, New Hope World Ministries, Today\u2019s Care Adult Daycare, Stadium Place, and <em>Next Chapter<\/em> online radio. Dravon is also the host of \u201cEveryday Peace\u201d on Unity Online Radio. <u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drdravonjames.com\"><u>www.DrDravonJames.com.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/archives2019.gcnlive.com\/Archives2019\/jan19\/BarbAdamsLive\/0105193.mp3\">Hour 3 (Rebroadcast) &#8211; Robert Levey, <\/a><em>Risk: A Tale of Wall Street<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hour 1 &#8211; John J.
