Debra J. Perry is an author, speaker, and transformation guide dedicated to helping people reconnect with who they are beneath the labels, expectations, and experiences that have shaped their lives. Drawing from more than 35 years of leadership experience across business, project management, hospitality, construction, telecommunications, and real estate, she combines practical wisdom with deeply personal insights on identity, resilience, recovery, and reinvention.
As the creator of The O Movement and author of I Am an O: Focused on U, Debra encourages readers to embrace self-awareness as the foundation for meaningful change. Her work is inspired by her own journey through addiction and recovery, single motherhood, entrepreneurship, personal loss, health challenges, and the pursuit of purpose later in life.
Through her writing and speaking, Debra helps readers recognize the patterns that keep them stuck, challenge the stories they tell themselves, and make conscious choices that align with who they truly want to become. Her message is simple: awareness is where change begins.
Debra lives in South Carolina, where she continues to write, speak, and guide others on the path of personal transformation.
