Sara L. Armstrong Biography

Sara Armstrong is an adventurer, wife, mother, widow, single parent, caregiver, mayor step-mother; a true survivor of numerous life transitions. She tells her stories so others may gain strength and have hope. She was born in Chicago, Illinois and joined the Peace Corps in 1966 for two years of adventure and self-discovery. But after marrying a Ugandan in 1968, and deciding to live in East Africa, Armstrong was launched on a journey through the terror of Idi Amin Dada. She had a unique insight into the destruction of a prosperous and thriving nation.

Her first book "The Shattered Pearl" is an account of her ten years in Africa. Armstrong moved freely around Uganda, witnessing many things not reported in the press. She lived as a Ugandan but saw events from an American viewpoint including the infamous 1976 Israeli raid on Entebbe Airport. Her goal is to give readers an insider's view of the profound effect that political upheavals and military coups have on innocent citizens. As recent events demonstrate, we are all connected. The book is an insight into how much of the world lives. The Shattered Pearl is a gripping, entertaining account of an incredible journey filled with adventure, love, joy, and terror.

After returning from Uganda, she was widowed and threw her energies into raising her two children, taking care of her aging parents and participating in local politics. She helped to incorporate and served as the first Mayor of the Town of Shorter, Alabama when developers threatened her community. As the mayor of a new municipality that became the center of a public controversy, Armstrong gave numerous TV and newspaper interviews as well as chairing city council and committee meetings.

Armstrong has a Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology and a Masters Degree in Religious Education. She is the founder and CEO of Sara L Armstrong Enterprises, LLC that provides speaking, training and consulting services.

Though very shy as a child, Armstrong has become a much sought after motivational speaker and retreat leader. Her book Congratulations! How to Survive Speaking in Public shares some simple but effective techniques she developed to overcome the fear of speaking in public.

Armstrong has been featured at a variety of events for business, religious, community and volunteer organizations across the nation. She is an expert on diversity, self-care for women, care giving, cross cultural communication and spiritual growth. In 1992, Armstrong married Bob Armstrong. Bob passed away in 2006 after a brave fight against cancer. She now lives near Atlanta, Georgia.
