Episodes Notes

A long way from the North Carolina tobacco farm where he grew up, college basketball standout Wayman Britt captained the University of Michigan Wolverines to the NCAA title game in 1976. It had always been his dream to play the game he loved, and the Wolverines fit the bill. After realizing one dream, Britt set his sights on another. And another.

Britt didn’t let his poverty-stricken environment in the North Carolina Jim Crow era of racial discrimination dissuade him from envisioning a bigger world and a better life.

He says it is thanks to hard work, determination and faith in God that he was able to achieve what he has. 

Wayman shares his story in his new book, Fulfilling the Dream: My Pathway to Leadership and Finding Purpose in Serving Others.

Today on Connections, Wayman shares how he is using his story to inspire others.
