Meagan was born legally blind, but she did not let her physical challenge discourage her from achieving her purpose. She became a renowned Author of “Vengeful Assassin,” on February 25, 2022.” Meagan was a college student just short of 9 hours of receiving her degree in English. Within 64 days, Meagan had appearances on local television talk and radio shows. She also received numerous awards including a Proclamation from the Mayor proclaiming April 4, 2022 as “Meagan Collins Day,” in the City of Houston, Sylvester Turner. On May 1, 2022, Meagan also received a “Lifetime Achievement Award,” from the President of the United States, Joe Biden. Meagan had many speaking engagements encouraging students not to allow any physical or mental challenges to interfere in achieving their goal. It was during her speaking engagements she realized that many of the students dealt with personal issues such as, low self esteem, suicidal tendencies, and parental issues, victims of bullying and other mental issues that would affect their drive to succeed to live or pursue their purpose in life.
