'Inspiring' Zimbabwe woman to speak at MLK Day event in Springfield
"So many women were trying to do work despite very little education," Trent said.
Over the next nine years while working, she also pursued the equivalent of a GED through correspondence classes and then came to the United States for college.
Little by little, she checked off every dream from her list. Today she has a doctorate in interdisciplinary evaluation from Western Michigan University.
Before Oprah ended her show, she donated $1.5 million to Trent to build a school in her home village, Trent's next dream.
Trent is a great representation of King because she has a story of hope, said Panagides.
"This is really about King and what is possible for us as a country, community and individuals," she said. "You have the potential to be anything you think you are. She is very clear about that. You manifest your dreams."
In Springfield, Trent will talk about what Martin Luther King Jr. represents and try to motivate the audience to believe in themselves and possibilities.
"We may face challenges in this world, but in the end it's how you persevere with those challenges," Trent said. "I want to speak about leaving a legacy, because with King, there is a clear message he left us to believe in human rights, social justice and a just society where education is a right for all."
Even in remote villages in Africa, King is an icon.
"Martin Luther King has become a global king," Trent said. "In Africa, everyone knows abut Martin Luther King. When I came to the U.S., I said, 'I need to learn more about him.' ... I'm honored to be speaking at this event."
Trent is known for her native saying "tinongona," which means "it is achievable," and that is a message to unite us all.
"Springfield has goals and aspirations for our community. It is achievable," said Panagides. "I don't believe we have achieved Dr. King's dream in the U.S., but it is achievable."
