Her book, ‘Journey of Faith, Challenges and Courage’ was showcased March 11-13, 2025 at the London Book Fair and it was an inspiration to see the response. The book is now reaching the Christian, Black History and Sports communities. In just the last thirty days, Gilliam’s book has received 10K views, and also has a 5-star rating, of which she is grateful for the exposure. In February, a television interview regarding her book was nominated as “Best Program of the year” for Bethel Park Television.
The book is a testimony that chronicles Gilliam’s hardships in life and how she endured the different challenges through God’s love and faithfulness. In this book, she shares her experiences of triumph over racism, loss, and unfathomable pain. It conveys how one’s character can be shaped through life events, whether it be good or bad and believes God’s hand will carry you through life challenges if you choose faith.
Alma is the mother of former NBA player, Armon “Hammer” Gilliam. Alma gives God the glory for the success of her book because it exceeded her expectations. Her book is available on Amazon.
