Corey Minor Smith is a history maker of today – a lady with an amazing story. Les Browns says “She is a woman who has a story the world needs to hear!”
Corey Minor Smith was born to a single mom, who had a severe mental illness. During her school years, Corey attended 14 different schools and lived in 8 different homes.

Her grandmother instilled a new level of Christian faith and possibilities in Corey. Corey went to college, graduate school and law school – passing the bar on her first try! She has become a successful lawyer, wife, and mother.
