Summary
n this inspiring Edutainment Learning interview, students from around the world meet Avis Brown-Riley, a true golf trailblazer whose life proves that big dreams and hard work can change everything. Avis made history as the first and only African American to win the San Diego City Women’s Amateur Championship and became one of the few African American women to earn LPGA Class A Golf Professional status—one of the highest honors in golf. From winning her first tournament at age eight to becoming a Junior World Champion and competing in the U.S. Women’s Open, her journey is nothing short of remarkable. Beyond golf, Avis shares powerful lessons on faith, resilience, courage, and perseverance, including how she overcame breast cancer and why being a champion is about far more than trophies. Today, she inspires young people—especially girls—to believe in themselves and never give up. Are you an educator?
