Peggy Thompson’s life is a powerful example of resilience, hope, and the determination to create positive change. A proud mother of three, lovingly referred to as Team “X,” Peggy’s journey from Chocowinity, NC, to becoming an author and advocate highlights her passion for family, community, and empowerment.

Her debut book, Dying On Section 8: Overcoming Landlord’s Negligence While Learning About Tenant Rights, stems from her personal experiences. In its pages, Peggy shares her challenges with landlord negligence and the fight for tenant rights, offering practical guidance for others facing similar struggles. It’s more than a book, it’s a lifeline for those navigating systemic barriers, showing them that they can overcome hardships and thrive.
Peggy’s mission extends far beyond her book. As a survivor and fighter, she leads by example, inspiring others not to settle for less than they deserve. From her volunteer work to her role as a dedicated Uber driver, she connects with people from all walks of life, fostering inclusion and empathy. Despite being introverted, Peggy has a gift for making misunderstood and marginalized individuals feel seen, valued, and loved.
Living in communities often defined by low expectations and judgment, Peggy chose a different path. She has become a beacon of hope, proving that anyone can rise above difficult circumstances. Her passions of volunteering, walking, and learning about mental health fuel her drive to inspire change.
Dying On Section 8 serves as both a personal story and a guide for others to advocate for their rights. Through her work, Peggy demonstrates the power of resilience, advocacy, and hope.
Peggy Thompson is a shining example of how determination and compassion can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Her light continues to shine as she helps others recognize their potential and empowers them to rise above their circumstances.
