Lakisha has faced many difficult challenges in life and did not let them consume her. She has endured many storms from being a single mom, dealing with a behavior challenged son (ODD/ADHD), a series of bad relationships and insecurities. Lakishas turnaround started when she started to feel abandoned and rejected by men. From that point on she began to want more out of life. Overtime her challenges made her stronger. She has gained a passion to help other women through her own struggles. With GODs help she has managed to survive them all. Certain moments has definitely made her a stronger person. Losing her grandfather in 1997 was one of them. In which her self-esteem issues began to increase. About three months later the passing of her father occurred.

Lakisha survived this lost by forming a better spiritual life. This was an experience that completely destroyed her. Her life has transformed in so many ways. Starting over was extremely difficult for her. Lakisha knows the changes grief takes you through. She has had to push herself even when she didnt understand where she would end up. Increasing her faith is a part of her remaining strong. She has now recognized her level of strength and continues to strive to succeed further in life.
