About Lakeisha

Lakeisha is an author, social worker, motivational speaker, entrepreneur and preacher. Lakeisha knows what it takes to rise from victim to victor growing up in a Christian home. She was raised in Paterson, New Jersey (twenty minutes from Manhattan, New York). Lakeisha excelled academically while being a victim of sexual abuse as a child. The hand of God was upon Lakeisha’s life, enabling her to excel academically despite traumatic life setbacks.

Lakeisha graduated from Rosa Parks High School as a drama major and was honored as valedictorian of her 1999 high school class. Lakeisha was named Who’s Who among high school students in 1999. She graduated from Pennsylvania State University with BAs in both political science and psychology. Lakeisha received over 40 awards and recognitions for her academic achievement and community service involvement. Lakeisha also became a member of Alpha Nu Omega Inc. (a Christian Greek organization) as a student as well as a member of the Baltimore/Washington Alumni Chapter.

Lakeisha developed a passion to help the less fortunate her relationship with God. It wasn’t before long that she was called into the ministry as a minister of the Gospel. Upon walking her in calling, she received many attacks in her health. The negative reports of chronic diseases did not deter Lakeisha off her life path nor discourage her. Through the development of a strong-prayer life, the doctors could no longer find a problem with Lakeisha’s health. God soon gave Lakeisha a vision for ministry, which includes winning souls for the kingdom, working with families, and developing leaders throughout the world. Lakeisha desires to encourage those who are experiencing hard times to overcome their problems, keep their eyes on their goals, and become the leaders they were predestined to be.

Lakeisha’s life story proves that your past does not dictate your future. Your age also does not determine your destiny. It does not matter what your life background is composed of, your race, or your age; you have a life purpose. The key to having a successful life is having faith in God and never giving up on your dreams. Everyone has a life purpose. It is up to you to learn it, live it, and love it!
