From Misfit to Mentor: Ralph Thomas Jr.
Ralph Thomas Jr. is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. He is a husband, father, Founder of AMMPD Inc., Youth Leadership Specialist, speaker, and author are the titles he proudly carries. Ralph received his Bachelor of Science in Education from one of the oldest HBCUs in history, Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi and his Master’s of Arts in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education. The road leading to obtaining these accomplishments was no easy feat. Growing up in a single parent home in the city of Memphis, Ralph’s road to triumph was troubled by drug abuse, self sabotage, coping with depression, low self esteem, trauma, womanizing, and poor decision making. In 2018, fed up with being overweight, depressed, and heavily indulging in marijuana, Ralph made a decision that would positively change the trajectory of his life and those around him. He began creating #AMMPD, Always Motivating Myself Positively Daily. An acronym that has now become a mantra and a lifestyle. His goal is to help severe the ties to generational curses, uplift, and positively impact as many people as he possibly can, most specifically the youth. Ralph is a devout educator and enjoys pouring into students of all ages. He attributes all that he has and is to the grace that God has given him throughout his life. Ralph is now married to the love of his life, Ariel, together they are raising a beautiful loving family.
