Theodore was born in Dallas, Texas to Drinkard and Lonnie Timms. He has two older brothers, Michael and Drinkard Jr, and a sister, Tanya. Drinkard Jr. passed away several years ago. My father was an A.M.E. preacher who was the pastor of several churches throughout the state of Texas which forced him to enroll in several different schools throughout his elementary. This deeply affected me academically. I was always ‘playing catchup’. I finally settled in San Antonio, where I finished middle and high school. I wanted to attend college, but a few people said I was ‘not college material’ but ‘they were partially correct. I graduated from high school in the bottom of my class with a 1.71. I did not tell anyone, not even my parents, because I was embarrassed. Most people would have given up but with grit and agency, I graduated from the University of North Texas with a BS in Education and from Texas A & M University-Commerce with an M.Ed. I went on to receive numerous awards for , teaching, and for the schools at which I taught as a classroom teacher. Lastly I was accepted into the university’s doctoral program but did not finish because I was advised to change his topic - and refused to do so, given the importance of the subject and having several famly relatives die during that time. My dissertation has instead evolved into this book. This is a picture of my Granddaughter; Ariyah Rein Timms
