Stand Up Stand Out | Book Terral

Family History

Terral’s story begins in Louisiana — a place of strong roots and spiritual legacy.
He grew up in Edgard, a small country town along the west bank, about 40 miles from New Orleans. His grandfather served as the head deacon, his grandmother was a deaconess, and his mother an usher at Second African Baptist Church.

Family & Faith

Terral was baptized at age 5 and was a fixture in the church until his family relocated to California. Though he moved, his foundation in faith never wavered.

Legacy & Resilience

Growing up in a region known as “Cancer Alley,” Terral understands both hardship and hope — and he brings that perspective to his ministry and advocacy today.
