Frances Wellington Terrell mother of three children Quineice, Yolanda and internationally R&B singer, J. Holiday is armed with skills that put her in great demand as a Minister, Motivational and inspirational speaker and life coach.



With a special mandate to celebrity teens, young adults, and hurting women, Frances has spent a great deal of her life in public service, which ultimately empowered her for the multi-faceted profession she graciously embodies.



Frances experiences as a single mom, wife, prophet, widow, business owner, author, public school teacher, and friend to the people, have birthed an arsenal of power that the world needs, not only to unlock their potential, but to process and possess the true meaning of purpose revealed in her walk with God.



Her personal journey also includes her vow to keep her son, J. Holiday, from a life of drugs and street gangs after the death of her husband, which she accomplished by the grace of God.  


She recently released her memoir: Raising J. Holiday: A Mother's Untold Story. 

Preaching her initial sermon in 1984, she was duly ordained by FHCCC School of Ministry in 1995.  Her gift as a speaker shared by four generations of family dreamers and preachers has proven a powerful weapon in discerning the world into which she has been sent to transform by the power of the gospel.

Hailed by many as the female Dr. Seuss, Frances has written and illustrated more than fifty teaching books for elementary aged students under the publication, Naungey.  She has also penned more than 600 poems to be published in an upcoming book.

Strong in faith and unwavering in principle, Frances is a graduate of T.C. Williams High School, where she was one of the black junior varsity cheerleaders during the era in the acclaimed movie, Remember the Titans.  She has also taught students with special education challenges in the Alexandria City Public Schools since 1987.
