She survived a campus rebellion, kidney disease and a hurricane that destroyed everything around her. But Dr. Claudia Thomas hasn't just bounced back from adversity -- she's learned lessons that she's sharing with others.

Dr. Thomas' life has five distinct chapters, and if it sounds like a best-seller … you can find out for yourself. She's written an acclaimed autobiography called "God Spare Life."

Dr. Thomas talked to Growing Bolder about her strong belief in herself and her willingness to fight for what she believes in. And, she details her struggle against racism and sexism and how it led her to where she is today.
